On our trip last weekend to southern Pennsylvania, we enjoyed a delicious addition to our breakfast spread…Apricot Bread! I knew about banana bread, blueberry bread and raisin bread but had never had apricot bread! It was a delicious, colorful bread!
I was told the recipe came from a cookbook written by James Beard…Beard on Bread. I just so happened to have that book on my shelf!
I typed out the recipe because the small paperback would not lie flat and I couldn’t weight it down without covering the recipe! (It’s on page 175, if you also have the book.) I’ll include a photo of the recipe below.
When I start a recipe like this…with several ingredients needing additional preparation, I try to prep them before I start…in this case chopping the nuts and soaking the apricots.
I did not take pictures of mixing the bread up. By the time I thought of it…it was mixed! It was really pretty simple and made the whole house smell good!
It made a pretty loaf. Perfect for breakfast or dessert! Give it a try! Enjoy.
Sounds delicious!!!
Yummy!
I tried this recipe this afternoon. I did not have apricots but did have dried papaya. It worked just as well. However I had to leave the bread cooking with my husband watching the clock. I would have removed it a little sooner than the recommended 45 minutes. It is still wonderful to eat with a pat of butter!
