Ingredients

Ingredient Checklist

Directions

Instructions Checklist
  • In a medium bowl, pour the rum over pineapple or apricots, golden raisins, cherries, raisins and currants. Set aside to soak, stirring occasionally.

Instructions Checklist
  • In large mixing bowl, combine 1-3/4 cups of flour, yeast, cardamom, cinnamon and cloves. In a medium saucepan, heat and stir milk, the 1/2 cup butter, the 1/4 cup granulated sugar, honey and salt till warm (120 degrees F to 130 degrees F) and butter almost melts. Add to the flour mixture with the egg. Beat with electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds, scraping bowl. Beat on high speed for 3 minutes. By hand, stir in fruit-rum mixture, pecans, and as much of the remaining flour as you can with a wooden spoon.

Instructions Checklist
  • Turn dough onto a floured surface. Knead in enough remaining flour to make a moderately soft dough that's smooth and elastic (3 to 5 minutes). Shape into a ball. Place in a greased bowl; turn once to grease the surface. Cover; let rise in a warm place till doubled in size (about 1-3/4 hours).

Instructions Checklist
  • Grease 2 baking sheets; set aside. Punch dough down. Turn dough onto a floured surface. Divide dough in half. Cover; let rest 10 minutes. Form each half into a 9x4-inch loaf and place on prepared baking sheets. Flatten each loaf slightly to form 11x7-inch ovals, making them slightly tapered at the ends. Without stretching, fold a long side over to within 1 inch of opposite side; press edges to lightly seal. Cover; let rise till nearly double (about 1 hour).

Instructions Checklist
  • Bake in a 350 degree F oven for 25 to 30 minutes or till bread sounds hollow when you tap it, covering with foil the last 10 minutes of baking, if necessary, to prevent overbrowning. Remove from baking sheets; place on a wire rack. Immediately brush with the melted butter. While still warm, sprinkle with Vanilla Sugar. (Or, sprinkle loaves with coarse decorating sugar).

Instructions Checklist
  • Cool completely. Wrap and store in the refrigerator at least overnight or for up to 2 days before serving. Makes 2 loaves (32 servings).
