Place dried fruit in a large bowl with the tea bag, vanilla, cinnamon and lemon and orange zest and juice. Pour the warmed honey over the top and add enough boiling water to just cover the fruit. Cover and set aside for 8 hours. Remove and discard the tea bag. Place the marinated fruit in a medium saucepan, add 1/2 cup water and the Marsala. Poach over low heat for 20-25 minutes.

Meanwhile, to make the custard, mix the ingredients in a bowl and lightly whip until thick. Serve the fruit with the Marsala custard.
