Dried fruit and fresh fruit offer nutritional benefits, however, the nutritional profile changes when fresh fruit is dried.

If making bread or sweet buns, soak your chosen dried fruit in water, tea, fruit juice or alcohol for an hour or two before baking to prevent it from absorbing the moisture from the dough.

Put the dried fruit, orange zest ... 900g/2lb loaf tin with butter and line with baking paper. Mix in the orange juice, beaten egg and the grated apple with the soaked fruit.
