Apricot Nut Bread Old Recipe


Apricot Nut Bread Old Recipe
This is a great bread for Christmas and the holidays, especially. My mother made it every Christmas. It is so good plain or spread with cream cheese. And of course, a hot, steamin' cuppa coffee! :)

This would be great toasted and spread with butter. Yummy! Thank you for a great recipe.


Wonderful! Good job! New group Company's Coming!


Just what I was looking for. Thanks.


This has been one of my favorites for years. I found the recipe in my Better Crocker cookbook, the first one I ever owned! I made it today, after seeing it on the site and being reminded of it. I add the zest of one orange and I also make it in mini-loaves. They are so nice to keep wrapped in foil for gifts or frozen for unexpected guests.
