Instructions

Prep:

  1. Put all the dried fruit into a bowl with the brown sugar and pour the hot tea over the top. Cover and let stand on the counter overnight.
  2. The next morning, or 6 to 8 hours later.

After prepping:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
  2. Grease and flour the inside of a loaf tin and set aside.
  3. Pour the fruit/tea mixture into a large bowl.
  4. Next, add the beaten egg.
  5. Add the gluten free flour, xanthan gum and baking powder and mix well.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and place into preheated oven.
  7. Bake for 60 to 65 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean. Allow the gluten free tea bread to cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then carefully remove and place on a cooling rack. Be sure to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • Use 12 ounces (just under 2 1/4 c) total of dried fruit. Try orange flavored cranberries with raisins and sultanas. Apricot pieces work well, but I used dried pineapple once and didn't like it.
  • Also, the stronger the tea, the darker the bread will be.
  • I’ve also used 8 oz of tea and 2 oz of brandy, but honestly couldn’t tell the difference in the outcome.
