Apricot Nut Loaf |
| Description : |
An excellent high fibre fruit & nut loaf.
Serves 10 |
| Ingredients : |
175g organic dried apricots
1 large organic orange
75g organic raisins
150g organic caster sugar
90ml organic sunflower oil
2 organic eggs,lightly beaten
250g organic plain flour
2 tsp allergy free baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp bicarbonate soda
50g organic walnuts, chopped |
| Recipe_details : |
Preheat the oven to 180. Line the bottom and sides of a 23x13cm loaf tin with baking paper and grease.
Place the apricots in a bowl and add lukewarm water to cover. Allow to stand for 30 minutes
With a vegetable peeler, remove the orange rind, leaving the pith. With a sharp kinfe, finely chop the orange rind strips.
Drain the apricots and chop coarsely. Place in a bowl with the orange rind and raisins. Set aside.
Squeeze the peeled orange. Measure the juice and add enough water to make 175ml liquid.
Pour the orange juice over the apricot mixture. Stir in the sugar, oil and eggs. Set aside.
In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt and bicarbonate soda. Fold the flour mixture into the apricot mixture in three batches.
Stir in the walnuts. Spoon the batter into the prepared tin and bake for about 55-60 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the centre of the loaf comes out clean. If the loaf browns too quickly, protect the top with foil. Cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring to a rack to cool completely. |
