Soak fruit in tea overnight.

Melt the butter in the microwave, then add all ingredients to the fruit.

Mix with a wooden spoon until all is mixed well.

Put into a greased 8' tin and bake in a moderate (180c) oven for 1-1 1/2 hours.

I some times put a crust of sugar on the top before putting into the oven. ENJOY.
