YUM, what a great, moist fruity bread! Loved it!<br/>I made a couple of changes due to personal preference: Instead of all ap flour, I used half whole spelt flour, since I dont like nutmeg that much I used cake spice instead. Also I reduced the sugar to 1 tbs so that I could also spread this with savoury toppings and instead of 1/2 c raisins I used 1/4 c 1/4 c desiccated coconut. <br/>As you can see from my pic I made muffins instead of a loaf so that I could try this quicker. ;)<br/>THANKS SO MUCH for sharing a definite keeper with us, Hokies!<br/>Made and reviewed for Photo Tag August 2012.
