VARIATION: APRICOT BREAD

VARIATION: MIXED DRIED FRUIT

Note: 6 servings for Large (1½ lb) loaf, change to 4 for medium or 3 for small loaves.

Put all ingredients but the raisins in your machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer - most machines have some setting for "Mix" or "Fruit" breads that will make them beep when it's time to add the fruit. Add the raisins at the proper time.

The "Variations" can be used instead of the raisins, add at the time you'd add the raisins.
