I want Mary Berry's Bara Brith recipe from Ultimate Cakes

[brockleybelle]

I'd really appreciate someone posting Mary Berry's Bara Brith recipe from her Ultimate Cakes.

Thank you!

I haven't got that one but I do have my mum's (so probably my grandma's) recipe for it:

3/4lb mixed dried fruit
1/4lb soft brown sugar
1/4 pint strong cold tea
1 egg
1/2lb self raising flour
pinch salt
1/ tsp mixed spice

Stand the fruit and sugar in the cold tea overnight.

Sieve the flour, salt and spice into the mixture.

Add beaten egg and mix well.

Bake in a lined bread tin for 1.5 hours at 150C.

Its on this blog
Hope it's the right one!

Thank you meltedmars! It says a 2lb loaf tin, but I'm sure two 1lb tins would be ok, wouldn't they?

Thanks Mrsflowerpot, I love old family recipes.
