• 150ml freshly made hot tea

• 50g walnut pieces, chopped
• 225g self-raising flour

1 Put the fruit, sugar and tea in a bowl. Stir, then cover and set aside for 4 to 8 hours – the fruit will plump up and moisten.

2 Preheat the oven to 160C/ Gas 3. Line a loaf tin with non-stick baking paper. Lightly beat the egg and milk together and add to the fruit mixture, along with the walnuts.

3 Sift the flour and mixed spice together and gently fold into the fruit mixture. Put in the tin and bake for 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. Leave to cool on a wire rack. Generously butter the bread and serve.
