Guest guest Posted January 15, 2003 Report Share Posted January 15, 2003 Irish Tea Bread Servings: 4 12 T Strong tea 1 lb. Mixed dried fruit 6 oz Soft brown sugar 1 ea Egg, lightly beaten 1 oz Butter (melted) 9 oz All-purpose flour 1/2 t Bicarbonate of soda The mixed fruit can include raisins, currants, and any other kind of dried fruit you like; chop any larger pieces down to about raisin size. Place the tea, mixed fruit and sugar in a bowl; cover and leave overnight. Stir in the egg and melted butter. Sieve the flour and the bicarb together and fold them in. Line the bottom of a large loaf pan with baking parchment, and brush the whole inside of the pan with melted butter. Pour the mixture in and smooth the top. Bake in a preheated oven (360 F) on the middle shelf for 1 1/2 hours. After removing from the oven, leave in the pan for 2-3 minutes; then turn out of pan and cool on a wire rack.In 1983 the drug company Pfizer carried out a study to test the efficiency of animal tests. Human findings were compared with experimental data from rats and mice for all chemicals known to cause cancer in people. In most cases animal tests had given the wrong answers. The report concluded that we would have been better off to toss a coin! (D. Salsburg, Fundamental & Applied Toxicology, 1983, vol. 3, 63-67.) Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.
