The mixed fruit can include raisins, currants, and any
other kind of dried fruit you like; chop any larger
pieces down to about raisin size. Place the tea, mixed
fruit and sugar in a bowl; cover and leave overnight.
Stir in the egg and melted butter. Sieve the flour and
the bicarb together and fold them in. Line the bottom
of a large loaf pan with baking parchment, and brush
the whole inside of the pan with melted butter. Pour
the mixture in and smooth the top. Bake in a
preheated oven (360 F) on the middle shelf for 1 1/2
hours. After removing from the oven, leave in the pan
for 2-3 minutes; then turn out of pan and cool on a
wire rack.
