First: Soak any mixture of dried fruits you like (about 12-13 ounces) in strong cold tea (8.5 ounces) and 50 grams (about 3 1/3 Tbsp) good Irish whiskey. Let that soak up overnight. 

Day 2: Whist together 225 grams (8 ounces) with 2 tsp baking powder, 125 grams (4.5 ounces) brown sugar and 1/2 tsp mixed spice. Leave a small well in the middle and add an egg, gently working it in. Then add the liquids from the soaking fruit. After the dough comes together, should be a wet dough, you can fold in the fruits. 

Either spray a loaf pan or use parchment paper and add your bread dough. If you follow Irish tradition, then you can add a ring to your dough, secretly putting it in. Tradition says, whoever gets the piece with the ring is next to be married. 

With or without the ring, bake 325 for 1 Hr.

Let cool, and enjoy!
