This is an old favourite of mine that's so quick and easy to bake. It's high in fibre with little fat yet moist and delicious.

1. Soak apricots, sultanas, bran and sugar in milk for an hour.
2. Add sifted flour and spice. Mix thoroughly.
3. Pour into a 20cm x 10cm (8 x 4in) greased loaf tin. Sprinkle with oats or slivered almonds if you wish.
4. Bake in a moderate oven for 50-60 minutes or until cooked when tested. Cool before removing from tin. Serve spread with a little butter or margarine.
In place of apricots and sultanas, substitute two cups of any chopped dried fruit (dates, raisins, mixed dried fruit, etc).
Tip: Store wrapped in plastic film in the fridge. Keeps moist for one week.
