NIGHT BEFORE BAKING:

Place all of the dried fruit, including the orange zest and ginger, with the sugar into a large mixing bowl, and pour over the hot tea, give it a good stir - cover with a clean tea towel and leave to steep overnight.

Pre-heat oven to 160C/325F/Gas Mark 3 and grease and line a 2 lb (1 kg) loaf tin.
5
Add the beaten egg to the fruit mixture and mix well, then add the ground ginger.
6
Gradually add the flour and stir the mixture well, ensuring there are no lumps of flour remaining.
7
Pour the mixture into the prepared loaf tin and bake for 1 and 1/2 to 1 and 3/4 hours, or until the loaf is firm and a skewer comes out clean when testing.
8
If the loaf appears to be browning too quickly, place on the bottom shelf and cover with a sheet of baking paper.
9
Allow the loaf to cool slightly, and gently remove to a wire cooling rack.
10
Store in an airtight tin for up to 1 week, or freeze slices of the tea loaf with greaseproof paper in between each slice.
