1 lb Strong white bread flour 1/4 oz Easy-blend yeast 1 ts Ground cinnamon 1 ts Ground allspice 4 tb Sugar 1 pn Salt 2 Eggs; lightly beaten 1/4 lb Butter; melted 8 tb Milk; warm 1/2 lb Prunes; cut into - sultana-size pieces 2 oz Currants 2 oz Sultanas Using a food-mixer or processor or your hands, mix and knead all the ingredients except the dried fruits to a smooth and elastic dough. Cover and leave to rise until doubled in size - about 1 hour in a warm room. Knock back the risen dough and knead again briefly, gradually working in the dried fruits until evenly distributed. Divide the dough in two, shape and put into two small (1 lb) greased and lined loaf tins. Cover and leave to prove (rise) until puffy and light.

Take the loaves out of the tins and return them to the oven for a further 10 minutes or so as necessary - the bread will sound hollow when tapped on the base if it is properly cooked.

How To Make A Real Plumb Fruit Loaf
This bread is “plumed” as in full of fruit, no there’s not any plum in it!! It’s based on an old style Lancashire plumb loaf. Soaking the fruit however gives this bread an amazing depth of flavour that’s hard to compare!!
You could add a bit of sourdough to it and remove the yeast for even more flavour.
This bread is great fun to make and freezes really well so I make a batch once or twice a year to give to friends whilst storing a few for myself!
