Prune and Ginger Loaf

A brilliantly simple loaf with loads of flavour...as our Jamie would say

1 cup of pitted prunes ( I use them whole)
1/2 cup of drained or crystallized ginger
1 tsp powdered ginger
1 tsp finely grated root ginger (optional)
1/2 cup brown sugar
3 tbsps treacle
1 cup boiling water
1 tsp baking soda

Mix altogether.
Cool for a bit, then add 2 cups of wholemeal flour.
For this loaf I used a cup of blue konini wheat flour & 1 cup of 7 grain zentrofen.
I like to use good flours so that it's not just baking but more a wholesome food!

  Spoon in to a greased loaf tin & cook for around 50 mins at 180 degrees C
Ginger & prunes make a lovely combination. A very fragrant pruney gingerbread really.
