Cooking instruction summary:

Stir together the orange zest, Cointreau, cranberries and mixed fruit in a small bowl and allow to soak.In the meantime mix the flour, yeast, caster sugar and spices in a large bowl. Add salt and rub in the butter with your fingertips. Beat the egg with the warm milk, then pour into the flour mix. Stir with a wooden spoon until it begins to come together, then use your hands to bring the mixture together as a soft dough.Transfer onto a work surface and knead for a couple of minutes, adding a little flour if it is needed to stop it sticking. Lightly oil the bowl, return the dough and cover with a damp cloth. Leave to rise for 1 hour in a warm place until doubled in size.Line and butter a large baking tray with baking paper. Using a rolling pin, roll the risen dough out firmly to a long strip about 70 x 18cm.
