List of Ingredients




1 1/4 oz pkg active dry yeast
3/4 cup warm water, 110-115 degrees
3/4 cup evaporated milk
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup shortening
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, divided
1 cup chopped mixed candied fruit
2 tablespoons milk
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
additional candied fruit, optional

Recipe



In a mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in water. Add evaporated milk, sugar, shortening, salt eggs, and 2 cups of flour; beat until smooth. Stir in fruit and enough remaining flour to form a soft dough (do not knead). Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 1/4 hours. Punch dough down. Turn onto a floured surface; knead 3-4 minutes. Pat evenly into a greased 10-in tube pan. Cover and let rise in a warm place until nearly doubled, about 45 minutes. Bake at 375 degrees for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pan to cool on a wire rack. Combine confectioner's sugar, milk and vanilla; drizzle over bread. Garnish with candied fruit if desired.
