DRIED APRICOT WHOLE WHEAT BREAD
This recipe uses fruit juice for the liquid, which ends up being part of the sweetening
as well. The bread contains oatmeal and whole wheat flour, so there is also plenty of
fiber in every slice. You can vary the juice and dried fruit combination—try orange
juice and dried cranberries, pineapple juice and dried pineapple, prune juice and
dried prunes, or cherry juice and dried cherries. You can use whatever you have on
hand, but not thick nectars in place of the juice.
