How to Make Apricot Spice Bread Abm

  1. Combine 1 cup dried apricots and ½ cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil.
  2. Remove from heat and let steep for 5 minutes.
  3. Drain apricots, reserving the liquid. Pat apricots dry on paper towels.
  4. Let apricots and reserved liquid cool to room temperature.
  5. Finely chop the apricots.
  6. Measure the reserved apricot liquid. Add enough apricot nectar to reach ¾ cup total liquid.
  7. **Bread Machine Method:** Place all remaining ingredients (except apricots) in your bread machine according to the manufacturer's instructions. Select the medium crust setting and the 'add ingredients' setting (if available). Press start.
  8. **Bread Machine Method:** At the end of the mixing cycle, just before kneading begins, add the chopped apricots through the bread machine's ingredient dispenser.
  9. **Bread Machine Method:** Remove the bread promptly once the baking cycle is complete.
  10. **Oven Method (if skipping bread machine):** Follow steps 1-6. Then, combine all ingredients (including apricots) in a large bowl and mix well. Shape the dough into a loaf and place it in a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  11. **Oven Method:** Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  12. Allow the bread to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
