     Title: Trail Mix Tin Can Quick Bread
Categories: Breads, Fruits, Nuts
     Yield: 2 Loaves

     2 c  Dried fruit bits
     2 c  Hot water
     4 ts Baking soda
 1 1/2 c  Sugar
   1/4 c  Oil
   1/2 ts Salt
     3 c  All-purpose flour
     1 c  Chopped walnuts or pecans
   1/2 ts Cinnamon; opt
   1/2 ts Almond extract; opt

 For fruit - dried cranberries, cherries, blueberries,
 currants or raisins

 Set the oven @ 350oF.

 Grease and flour two 1-pound coffee cans or 2 9" x 5"
 loaf pans and line bottoms with wax paper. Grease and
 flour the wax paper.

 Place the fruit bits or raisins in a large bowl, cover
 with the hot water, and stir in the baking soda. Cover
 with plastic wrap and leave overnight to plump. All of
 the liquid is used in the batter, so don't drain.

 Mix together the fruit bits or fruit or raisins, soaking
 water, sugar, oil, salt, flour, and the nuts. Stir to
 blend. Add the cinnamon and almond extract if desired.
 The batter should be thick enough to spoon. If thin, add
 a small amount of flour.

 Spoon the batter into the prepared cans, filling between
 1/2 to 2/3 full. Push the batter down into the bottom
 with a spatula. Bake 1 hour, or until a deep, dark brown.

 Remove the bread from the oven and allow to sit for 10
 minutes before slipping them out of the containers. Let
 the breads cool completely on wire racks.

 When completely cooled, return the breads to the cans
 and cover with their plastic lids or wrap tightly in
 plastic.

 Keeps for 3 or 4 months stored in the refrigerator.

 Makes 2 loaves
