Instructions

Soak fruit in cold tea for at least 6 hours or overnight.
Preheat the oven to 325 F (170 C/Gas 3) and grease a 2-pound (900-gram) loaf tin.
Combine soaked fruit with marmalade, egg, brown sugar, spice, and flour; mix thoroughly.
Spoon batter into the greased tin and bake for 1 hour 15 minutes, or until a cake tester comes out clean, covering with foil if the top browns too quickly.
Remove from oven, let stand 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack.
Brush with honey to glaze and cool completely.
Slice and serve, optionally with butter, jam, or extra honey.
