This evening I am revisiting an old favorite recipe...for Apricot Almond Bread. During the 90s I used to make this wonderful bread for friends as a Christmas present. It is great served...thick sliced and slathered with whipped cream cheese. Here's the recipe:
1 1/2 cups of coarsely chopped dried apricots
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups white flour
1 cup whole-wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup almonds, chopped
1 egg, well beaten
1 teaspoon orang extract
Preheat oven to 350 (F). Butter a loaf pan. Put the apricots in a bowl and pour 1 1/2 cups boiling water over them. Add the butter, sugar, and salt and let cool to lukewarm. Stir in remaining ingredients and mix very well. Spoon into the pan and bake for 1 1/4 hours. Remove from the pan and cool on a rack.
