Being of Scots-Irish and Welsh Ancestry, I love to try the traditional foods that my ancestors enjoyed in the old country, but I often find that the European Ingredients, Measurements and Preparation Methods are confusing. Here is my version of this fabulous Welsh Fruit Bread - American Style.

Steps:
- Place Tea Bag into a medium sized heat-proof mixing bowl. Pour Boiling Water over Tea Bag. Allow to steep for at least 30 minutes.
- Remove Tea Bag from Water and add Dried Currants and Dried Dates. Using a spoon, push fruit down into the tea until it is completely covered. Allow to soak for at least 1 hour, although overnight is preferred.
- Preheat oven to 350°F Use Cooking Spray to grease two 12-cup Muffin Pans.

- Serve as is or with Butter or spreadable Cream Cheese. Good warm or cold. Excellent served with Hot Tea or Coffee.
