2½ cups flour

1 tsp cinnamon

½ tsp nutmeg

¼ tsp cloves

¼ tsp ginger

2 tsp baking powder

Soak the dried fruit in hot tea and bourbon overnight.

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a long loaf pan.

Stir together flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger, baking powder; set aside.

Beat the egg, sugar, marmalade, orange zest, and soaked fruit until combined. Gently fold in the flour until just combined, add in the leftover tea if mix is too dry. Pour into prepared pan.
