Fruit and Orange Bread
“The orange gives this bread an exotic flavor.”
225 g/8 oz/1 1/4 cups fruit (candied peel, sultanas* or
raisins, chopped dates) * Sultanas
are dried green grapes and are usually larger and juicier than raisins. [We
use golden raisins.] Soak the fruit in the cold tea overnight. Heat the fruit mixture and add the sugar and butter, stirring until they dissolve. Add the orange rind [zest] and juice. Cool. Add the egg. Add the flour and cinnamon. Pour mixture into a 450g/1 lb greased and lined loaf tin and bake at 180° C/350° F/gas 4 for 1 hour and 20 minutes.

"[Breadmaking is] one of those almost
hypnotic businesses, like a dance from some ancient ceremony. It leaves you filled with
one of the world's sweetest smells...there is no chiropractic treatment, no Yoga exercise,
no hour of meditation in a music-throbbing chapel. that will leave you emptier of bad
thoughts than this homely ceremony of making bread." |
