APRICOT TEA BREAD



Apricot Tea Bread image

I found this recipe while cleaning up some old floppy disks. I got it from an old foodie BBS years ago (remember those?)

Provided by Outta Here

Categories     Quick Breads

Time 2h

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3/4 cup dried apricot
boiling water (enough to cover apricots for soaking)
2 cups all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1 cup sugar
3 tablespoons canola oil (or melted butter, for richer flavor)
1/2 cup orange juice
1 cup pecans, chopped

Steps:

  • Place apricots in a bowl and cover with boiling water. Soak for 1/2 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F Coat a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Drain apricots, reserving 1/4 cup of the soaking water.
  • Finely chop apricots. Set aside.
  • Sift together dry ingredients. Set aside.
  • Cream together the egg, sugar and oil.
  • Add flour mixture to egg mixture alternately with orange juice and reserved soaking water. Stir in apricots and pecans.
  • Spread batter in loaf pan and bake 1-1 1/4 hours, or until wooden pick inserted into center of bread comes out clean.
  • Turn out onto wire rack and cool.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
  • Use fresh, ripe apricots: Fresh, ripe apricots will give your bread the best flavor. If you can't find fresh apricots, you can use frozen apricots that have been thawed and drained.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to ensure that your bread is cooked through.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing: This will help the bread to set and hold its shape.
