First off, let me say I HATE fruit cake. YUK! But I do love my mother's Christmas bread and its sooooooooooo simple. Take your favorite white bread recipe and triple the sugar and add a reasonable amount of cinnimon, if you like cinnamon. Then take a cup per loaf of the chopped up candied citron and stir it into the dough. Bake per usual. To get the really magnificant taste, this bread needs to be toasted and buttered. Otherwise its just white bread with candied citron in it.
Do you know how to tell if the bread is done? Take the loaf pan using potholder and turn the top of the bread into your hand. If you can hold it for a few seconds without it burning, its done! Thats out of an old cook book from the 20s.
Taz who just this week used up her last loaf of canned french bread. Canned in Nov of 1998. It was good but boy was the crust tough. But REALLY good toasted. I had done a dozen as an expirment. This was the last.
