Ingredients:

  • 1 package (1/4 oz) active dry yeast
  • 3/4 cup warm water (110o to 115o)
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup shortening
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 1 to 2 tbsp milk
  • additional candied fruit , optional

Directions:

  1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in water. Add the evaporated milk, sugar, shortening, salt, eggs and 2 cups of flour; beat until smooth. Stir in mixed candied fruit and enough remaining flour to form a soft dough (do not knead).
  2. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1-1/4 hours.
  3. Punch dough down. Turn onto a floured surface; knead 3-4 minutes. Pat evenly into a greased 10-in. tube pan. Cover and let rise in a warm place until nearly doubled, about 45 minutes.
  4. Bake at 375° for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pan to cool on a wire rack.
  5. Combine the confectioners' sugar, vanilla and enough milk to reach desired consistency; drizzle over bread. Garnish with additional candied fruit if desired. Yield: 1 loaf.
