Bishops Bread image

This is a Christmas tradition in my family. My mom got the recipe out of a church cookbook in the 50's. I usually make 3 loafs at a time. It is wonderful! Even those who hate fruitcake love this!

I used a gluten-free flour blend and it worked perfectly. This bread is now a staple in my gluten-free diet.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted the walnuts for pecans. It turned out great!

This bread is way too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my bread didn't turn out as good as I hoped. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This bread is a bit dense, but I still enjoyed it. I think it would be even better if I used a lighter flour.

I'm not a huge fan of fruitcake, but this bread is an exception. It's not too sweet and the fruit is perfectly balanced.
