The recipe for these fresh-baked fruit-dotted loaves comes from my grandmother. They fill our house with a heavenly aroma that is such a part of the season.-Tom Guenther, Oshkosh, Wisconsin

Time 55m

Yield 4 loaves.

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
1/2 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
2 cups warm milk (110° to 115°)
2 eggs
7 to 8 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups mixed candied fruit
