Of the four mentioned, which fruit is a typical ingredient of a hot cross bun?
currants
Hot cross buns have, of course, that signature white cross on the top made of rice paper, pastry, flour and water. Often, these buns are eaten on Good Friday with the crosses in honor of the crucifixion. They are made with either currants or raisins and leavened with yeast. There is also the song "Hot Cross Buns" with versions dating back to 1733, if not earlier.
