Irish Fruit Bread




Source of Recipe


Internet


List of Ingredients




1 cup chopped dried apricots
1/2 cup golden raisins
1/4 cup chopped candied orange peel (or other candied friut)
1 cup boiling water
2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoons allspice
1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt


Recipe



Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease 4 1/2 x 8 1/2 inch loaf pan.

In medium bowl mix fruit together. Pour boiling water over and set aside for 10 minutes to soften fruit.

In large bowl, blend flour, sugar and spices, baking soda and salt. Add fruit and liquid to flour mixture and mix with a wooden spoon until thoroughly blended. (wood does make a diference, metal reacts with something and makes it go flat, I think plastic is ok though)

Scrape batter into loaf pan and bake 40-50 minutes or until wood pick is inserted into the center and comes out clean. Turn out onto cooling rack and cool completely. To store, wrap well in foil or plastic wrap. Serve sliced, with butter. Makes 1 loaf.
