You may think there is not enough fluid to soak up the fruit, if you gently tilt your bowl/jug to the side you should see there is quite a lot of liquid.
Cover and leave over night for your fruits to plump up.
After mixing well pour your tea bread mixture into a greased and floured oven dish.
Place into a pre-heated oven at 160C for approx 1 hour to 1 and 1/2 hours.
It depends on your oven so check your tea bread by poking a skewer into to - if it comes out clean it should be ready, do not open the oven for at least 40 minutes.
Turn out onto a rack and leave to cool.
Slice and serve as desired, eat as a peice or slice and spread with butter.
