The power of suggestion was alive and well in the office
today. Waiting for things to reboot
following an IT installation, Richard was telling us of the Borrowdale Teabread
he’d made at the weekend. After we soundly berated him for failing to bring in
tasting samples, he shared the recipe with us.
It’s actually very similar to one I have apart from the addition of some
marmalade. By the time the computers
were whirring again, we were all feeling incredibly hungry and I’d made a
mental note to soak some dried fruit in tea tonight. So that’s what I’ve done!
Borrowdale Teabread
200g raisins
200g sultanas
1 mug of strong, hot tea
200g muscovado sugar
400g SR flour
1 egg
2tbsp marmalade
1. Soak the dried fruit in the hot tea overnight
2. Light the oven at 180C/Gas 4 and grease and line a 1kg/2lb loaf tin
3. Beat the egg and add to the dried fruit
4 Mix the sugar and flour into the fruit mixture.
5. Stir in the marmalade
6. Pour into the loaf tin and bake for about an hour
7. Cool in the tin
8. Serve with butter and/or tangy cheese such as Lancashire or Wensleydale
