  • In a large saucepan, bring apricot nectar, dates & apricots to a boil, then reduce heat & cover, simmering for 5 minutes.
  • Remove from heat, stir in the zest & rosemary & cool for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a large bowl & with an electric mixer, cream the butter & sugar until light & fluffy, then beat in the egg & milk.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the flour & baking soda, then, when the date mixture has cooled enough, add the flour mixture to the creamed butter mixture alternately with the date mixture.
  • Pour into the three prepared loaf pans & bake 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
