Christmas Orange Bread Recipe
Recipe
Ingredients
1/2 cup homemade wonderslim (or 1 prune babyfood) 3 eggs equivalent of egg 1 substitute 1/2 cup orange juice 4 tsp baking powder 3/4 tsp salt 1/4 cup raisins 1/2 cup chopped nuts 1/2 cup sugar 1/2 cup mashed banana 2 1/2 cup unbleached flour 1 1/2 mixed candied fruit
Recipe
Preparation
Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, raisins, nuts, and candied fruit together. Combine and beat slightly the banana and orange juice; Set aside. Beat eggs into Wonderslim/prunes one at a time. Alternately, add prune/egg mixture and banana/orange mixture to dry ingredients mixed with fruits and nuts. A wooden "fork" works well for the mixing. Pack into 9X5X3 loaf pan lightly sprayed with Pam and lined with wax paper. Bake at 350o for 1 hr. or until done. Cool 20 min. before removing wax paper and turning out on a rack. Cool before icing.
Icing: Mix powdered sugar into an egg white until smooth and easily spreadable. You want a thin icing. If you get it too thick, add a little skim milk. Dot icing with cut up candied (glace') cherries as desired.
After frosting is firm, wrap in aluminum foil and refrigerate. Improves with freezing.
Notes: I usually double or triple the recipe. Otherwise, you'll have leftover icing (which is also good on cookies). You can divide the dough out into smaller pans; makes nice gifts.
I have modified the original posted recipe for Homemade Wonderslim by decreasing the lecithin:
3 c. water 1 12 oz. pk. prunes (cut-up type) 1 T. unbleached lecithin 1/4 tsp. citric acid
Cover prunes with water and bring to a boil. Cool. Blend prunes, water, lecithin, and citric acid in blender until smooth. Pour in clean quart jar and refrigerate. Keeps up to 30 days. I pour mine into old jelly jars and freeze them. I use 1:1 amounts when substituting for oleo in recipes.
