I know & use malt extract - and I've made beer in the past, so know what wort is, but wort extract?
And 'moth' ? (and carnation spice? - Google seems to be suggesting cloves for that one which makes sense)
Looks good though!

Ps. If I'm soaking vine fruit, I often use a cup of good quality earl grey tea (e.g. Williams) to add a citrus hint from the bergamot
correct few things.... moth = minced :)
carnaton spice = Syzygium aromaticum = clove :)
wort : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wort
extract = a preparation containing the active ingredient of a substance in concentrated form.
Thanks for the explanations!
I think your wort extract is what I might refer to as (Barley) Malt extract
e.g. http://www.healthysupplies.co.uk/barley-malt-extract-meridian.html
Sounds like that recipe makes a couple of big sticky festive loaves! Interesting glaze too.
Thanks,

I will not say that malt and wort is the exact same thing but is close to each other then you use malt to make wort. Malt and wort will not give the exact same tast what I know. I have both malt extract and wort extract at home. I am not sure but maybe wort will give a more sweeter and softer taste.
