How to Make Currant Loaf

In a large bowl, combine 1 cup dried mixed fruit, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1 cup cold, strained tea.
Allow the mixture to soak for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight in the refrigerator, to plump the fruit. Stir occasionally to ensure even coating.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
Gently fold in 2 cups self-raising flour, mixing until just combined. The batter will be slightly coarse.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
