Holiday Bread
"This recipe, from my mom's cookbook, is yellowed with age.. I remember her making it during the holidays every year. It's like a fruitcake, but more of an oatmeal loaf - with just a touch of dried fruit. Mom would toast thick slices and spread cream cheese on it for us."

I made this over the holidays. It was very good, although a little bland. I wasn't sure why it had cornstarch but I just added it to the mixture. Maybe I should have dusted the glace fruit with it as all the fruit sunk. Next time I'll use more fruit in it and dust the fruit with flour.
