How to Make Amish Friendship Bread With Fresh Fruit

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9x5 inch loaf pans.
2. In a large bowl, combine the Amish Friendship Bread starter, eggs, oil, sugar, and milk. Mix well until thoroughly combined.
3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
5. Gently fold in the chopped nuts and fruit.
6. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans.
7. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Start checking for doneness around the 50-minute mark.
8. Let the loaves cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
