Christmas Orange Bread

Directions

Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, raisins, nuts, and candied fruit together.

Combine and beat slightly the banana and orange juice; Set aside.

Beat eggs into prunes one at a time.

Alternately, add prune/egg mixture and banana/orange mixture to dry ingredients mixed with fruits and nuts.

A wooden “fork” works well for the mixing.

Pack into 9X5X3 loaf pan lightly sprayed with Pam and lined with wax paper.

Bake at 350o for 1 hr. or until done. Cool 20 min. before removing wax paper and turning out on a rack.

Cool before icing.

Icing: Mix powdered sugar into an egg white until smooth and easily spreadable. You want a thin icing. If you get it too thick, add a little skim milk. Dot icing with cut up candied (glace') cherries as desired. After frosting is firm, wrap in aluminum foil and refrigerate. Improves with freezing.
