- Preheat oven to 300°F. Butter two 9x5x3-inch loaf pans. Line with parchment; butter parchment. Drain fruit thoroughly. Mix pistachios, coconut, almonds and 3/4 cup flour in large bowl. Add fruit mixture and toss. Mix remaining 3/4 cup flour, nutmeg, cinnamon, salt and baking soda in medium bowl. Whisk 6 tablespoons bourbon, buttermilk and orange juice in small bowl.
