A great way to use up dried fruit leftover from Christmas. My dried fruits were mostly cranberries and apples and the bread was very good.I was concerned about the cooking time so cooked my bread a bit under the time stated -- the mini loaf about 1 1/2 hours while the regular loaf 1 3/4 hours. I made one regular size loaf and one mini loaf. An interesting bread! thanks for sharing!

I would eat this for breakfast, lunch and dinner! I had lots of odds and end of dried fruit so my loaf had dates, apricots, currents, sultanas, blueberries and cranberries. Every bite is a surprise. :)It took the full 2 hours to bake but produced a wonderfully rich, moist loaf. Thanks for posting! Made for CQ4
