Ingredients:

150g dried apricots
150g dried figs
150g pitted dates
150g raisins
525.00 gm orange juice
2.50 gm bicarbonate of soda
135.00 gm brown sugar
2 eggs, lightly beaten
300.00 gm Self-Raising Flour
3.75 gm ground cinnamon
2.50 gm ground ginger
butter, to serve

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 180°C and generously grease and line a 7cm deep, 10cm x 21cm loaf pan with baking paper.
In a saucepan, gently simmer dried fruit and juice until the liquid is absorbed, stirring occasionally for about 20 minutes. Mix in bicarbonate of soda and let sit for 10 minutes.
Pour the fruit mixture into a bowl. Add sugar and eggs, then gently mix. Sprinkle flour and spices over the fruit mixture and stir gently to combine. Transfer the mixture into a loaf pan. Bake for 50 to 55 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Serve slices at room temperature or toasted with a generous spread of butter.
