How to Make Pats Fruitcake Weight Watcher Friendly

Soak 1 cup mixed dried fruit (raisins, currants, cranberries, etc.) in 1 cup of strong brewed fruit tea for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease and flour a 9x5 inch (1lb) loaf pan.
In a large bowl, gently combine the soaked dried fruit, 1 large egg, 1 cup all-purpose flour, and a pinch of salt. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
(Optional) Stir in 1 tablespoon of whisky or brandy.
Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 80-90 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the fruitcake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
