Spiced Fruit Bread

The fruit and spice laden bread is  the quick way to satisfy an insatiable craving for a traditional fruit cake. Orange peels and  zest, cinnamon, and allspice, lend this full-bodied fruit bread an intriguing flavor. The medley of  dried fruits  and nuts give it a lovely texture, and  jeweled tones.

Less than a week is left for Christmas and I suppose all of you must be planning, preparing and shopping. We are busy at our ends too. The holidays for the kids started and we are trying to spend as much with each other and our friends.
