Orange Apricot Loaf

"A great loaf to warm you up on a cold, rainy day. It's bursting with
apricot and orange flavour and sure to put a pleasant smell in the air
when it's baked."

Ready In:1 Hour

1/2 cup sultana raisins, chopped
1/4 cup dried apricots, chopped
1 tablespoon orange zest
2 tablespoons orange juice
3 tablespoons butter, softened
1/2 cup white sugar
1 egg
2 cups self-rising flour
3/4 cup milk
