I've heard somewhere that when you make a Lincolnshire plum loaf, you always have to make two. You keep one for yourself and give the other to a neighbour  ;D

Sorry Kerry but its all dried fruits  :-[

Well here it is!

Lincolnshire Plum Bread

450g Strong white Bread Flour
225g Prunes cut into small pieces
115ml Warm Milk
50g Butter
4 tbsp sugar
50g Sultanas
50g currants
15g yeast
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1tsp ground allspice
1tsp ground cinnamon
1 pinch salt

Method

Mix milk, sugar, butter, yeast, beaten egg, salt & spices. Add flour, beating until smooth to make a soft pliable dough.

Turn out onto a floured surface & knead until smooth and elastic.

Place in a greased bowl, cover.
Allow to stand in a warm place until doubled in volume.

Knock back & knead briefly, adding dried fruits, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

Divide the dough in two, place into two 450g greased & lined loaf tins.

Cover & leave in a warm room to rise until double in size.

Pre-heat oven to 190°C gas mark 5.
Then bake for 40-50 mins. On a preheated baking sheet.  Remove the loaves from the tins and return to the oven for 5-10 mins or until when tapped on the base they sound hollow.

I don't think grams have yet been adopted in Lincolnshire.  It's certainly not a traditional recipe if it's in grams. 

Eilleen will be able to tell us.
