I make this every Christmas. It is tasty and colorful, and it looks so pretty on the dessert tray! Instead of using just raisins, I like to use a mixture of raisins, zante currants and white raisins. (sultanas.) It makes a terrific food gift, too! Ingredients:
1/4 cup butter or 1/4 cup margarine, melted |
3/4 cup sugar |
2 eggs |
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 cup dairy or canned eggnog |
1/2 cup chopped pecans |
1/2 cup raisins |
1/2 cup maraschino cherry, chopped (red and green) |
Directions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, beat together butter, sugar and eggs.
2. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt, and stir into butter mixture alternately with the eggnog; mix only until dry ingredients are moistened.
3. Fold in pecans, raisins and cherries by hand.
4. Spoon into a greased 8-1/2 x 4-1/2 x 2-1/2 loaf pan.
5. Bake at 350 for 70 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
