How to Make Apricot Bread Scrumptious
- Plump 1 cup dried apricots by soaking in 1 cup warm water for 15 minutes. Drain well and chop.
- Cream together 1 cup granulated sugar, 2 large eggs, 1/4 cup water, and 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter until light and fluffy.
- Stir in 1/4 cup fresh orange juice.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Gently fold in the chopped apricots and 1/2 cup chopped pecans, mixing until evenly distributed.
- Pour batter into two greased and floured 8 x 4 inch loaf pans.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. (Start checking at 50 minutes).
- Let cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Makes 2 loaves. Enjoy!
