Method

  • *NOTE: Original recipe used butter or possibly margarine...I used I Cannot Believe It's Not Butter - Light
  • **NOTE: Original recipe used 1 regular egg
  • ***NOTE: Original recipe used evaporated lowfat milk
  • Lightly grease eight (4 1/2x2 1/2x1 1/2") loaf pans, four (5 1/2x3x2") loaf pans or possibly three (71/2x31/2x2") loaf pans.
  • I used two (9x5x2 3/4") loaf pans as this is what I had.
  • Combine apricot nectar, dates, apricots in a med saucepan; bring to boiling.
  • Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 5 minutes.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Stir in orange peel and rosemary; cold slightly.
  • Meanwhile, stir together flour and baking soda in a small mixing bowl.
  • Beat butter or possibly margarine in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer on med speed for 30 seconds or possibly until softened.
  • Gradually add in sugar, beating until fluffy.
  • Beat in egg and lowfat milk.
  • Alternately add in flour mix and date mix to batter, beating just until combined after each addition.
  • Spread batter in prepared baking pans.
  • Bake in a 375 deg F oven until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean, allowing about 25 minutes for the 4 1/2x2 1/2" pans, about 35 minutes for the 5 1/2x3" pans and about 40 minutes for the 7 1/2x3 1/2" pans.
  • Cold in pans for 10 minutes.
  • Remove from pans; cold completely on wire racks.
  • Wrap and store overnight before slicing.
  • Makes 32 servings.
  • Because I used a different size baking pans I got about 28 slices total...this is what I based my counts on.
  • According to magazine
  • This is absolutely incredible tasting!
