I use this recipe it works quite nicely ..

3/4 lb mixed fruit
7oz soft brown sugar
10 oz self raising flour
3/4 pint freshly made tea
2 eggs
Pinch of salt

1)Make the tea and then pour over the fruit and sugar and leave over night.
2)Mix in the flour and the beaten eggs to the soaked fruit and sugar
3)Place in a 2lb greased, non-stick bread tin.
4)Cook for approximately 1.5 hours at 150ºC.
