FRUIT TEA LOAF
--------------------
4.5 syns per slice if cutting into 15 slices
1 cup of cold tea (I used an american cup measurement of earl grey)
227g dried fruit
227g self-raising flour
2 beaten eggs
6 level tbsp artificial sweetener (you can use more if you like but I didn't want it to be too sweet)
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
Soak the dried fruit in the tea overnight (or for as long as you can - it really does make the difference!)
Add all the other ingredients, mix until combined, then pour into a loaf tin lined with greaseproof paper
Bake at 180°C/Gas mark 4 for 40 minutes or until it looks done (brown on top and nice and firm).
Once cooled, remove from tin and slice into 15 slices.

Bunnylushes balsamic and sun dried tomato pasta .
A full pack of small vine tomatoes ( or any) put into SC. squash a little to break skins.
A chopped garlic put in SC
A big slosh or 5 tbsp balsamic vinegar put in SC
I leave mine on low all day or half a day. In oven I'm guessing 45 mins to hour?
When ready to eat ,boil pasta,drain, throw into SC. to soak up juice. Serve and eat with a spoon or your chasing pasta. It's so so tasty.'
