1. Sift the flour, spices, salt and baking soda, and then stir in the fruit and nuts. 2. Melt the butter with the molasses and sugar on a low heat. 3. The mixture should remain somewhat cool but the sugar should be dissolved. 4. Add the milk and stir in the eggs. 5. Pour the warm mixture into a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly to form a batter. 6. Pour into a greased and lined 2 lb loaf tin. 7. Bake at 325°F/160°C/gas mark 3 for 1¼ hours. 8. This is a fairly heavy recipe and may sink on cooling. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
