This is an old favourite of mine that's so quick and easy to bake. It's high in fibre with little fat - yet tastes 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 20 x 10 cm (8 x 4 in) 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.
