I often buy hot cross buns, occasionally raisin loaf and on some occasions it just gets thrown out eventually. Sometimes I remember and make Biscotti, a poor mans alternative to "lekker" rusks, or I make bread pudding or Irish Tea Loaf. Today, I found a forgotten raisin loaf in the fridge, and it was still okay with no mould or rancid smells so I shredded it and poured boiling and strong Rooibos tea over. I added sultanas and coconut and sugar, mixed spice, 2 eggs and mixed in all together. Its delicious, I have baked 1 loaf for eating and the second lot in a shallow tray which will be baked and turned into Biscotti rusks. Here is a recipe for those who prefer not to waste food.
