Advertizing:

Not as heavy as traditional fruit bread, nor nearly as dense with fruit, this version features a variety of nuts and candied fruits in small amounts. Serve it plain or lightly toasted.

INGREDIENTS (for 6 servings):

PREPARATION:

  • Grease an 8 x 5 inch loaf tin thoroughly. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • In a small bowl, beat the eggs well. Add milk and melted butter or shortening, and mix well.
  • Sift together flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon into a large mixing bowl. Add sugar, prepared fruits and nuts, and mix well. Add egg mixture to fruit and nut mixture, stirring just enough to blend. Turn batter into greased loaf tin. Let stand for 20 minutes.
  • Place pan in center of oven on middle rack. Bake for 60 to 70 minutes. Turn out on wire rack, and allow to cool for several hours before slicing.
