Add 125 g currents, 125 g sultanas, 180 g sugar, 100 g margarine, 200 ml water) to large pot (big enough you can add the flour later)
Bring it to the boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for approx 10-15 minutes
Take off the heat and allow to cool (at least half an hour)
Whisk 2 eggs and stir through the mixture once it's cooled
Pre Heat oven to 190C (fan) / 210C conventional / 375F
Mix through 325 g self raising flour then transfer into baking tin with grease proof paper
Cook in oven for 30 minutes, then take it out and cover with tinfoil before returning to oven for another 25 minutes (this will ensure the top doesn't burn whilst the inside cooks)

Remove from loaf tin and allow to cool on wire rack for 30 minutes before cutting into it.
