This is another great holiday bread to make that belonged to my mother. She sometimes served this one, and it is a very old recipe. This bread is good the first day, but better the second. You may use dates instead of raisins if you wish.

OATMEAL, FRUIT AND NUT BREAD



Oatmeal, Fruit and Nut Bread image

This is a tasty bread with very little fat-virtually none if you use the nonfat buttermilk and leave out the nuts. I've only made it with raisins, but I'll bet it would be really good with the dried cranberries also.

3/4 cup walnuts, chopped
1 cup raisins
1 tablespoon orange zest
1 egg
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons butter (or shortening), melted

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe fruit and nuts. This will give your bread the best flavor and texture.

  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing it. This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.
