1. 1

   Line 2 x 1 lb loaf tins with baking paper.

2. 2

   The evening before, put the dried fruit and peel in a bowl with the sugar and pour the hot tea over it. Cover and leave overnight. Preheat the oven to 325 F / 170 C and toast the nuts for 6 to 8 minutes. Watch they don't burn. Roughly chop them when they are cool. Beat the egg with the milk and stir into the fruit mixture. Sift (I don't bother) in the flour and add the nuts and give everything a good stir. Divide between 2 loaf tins and bake for 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours, until the centre is springy.
