This is a GREAT spice bread!! I've found that it's also a wonderful base recipe that be easily personalized. I made it using applesauce instead of shortening, 1/c. brown sugar instead of 1 c. white, substituted half the flour with whole wheat flour, and added about 3/4 cup of rolled oats. I also threw in chopped candied ginger in addition to the raisins!! Whooooo............it was gone in a flash, and my guys don't know they're getting fiber!! Definitely will keep making this one!!

We made this recipe last spring for my daughter's high school graduation party, and it was a huge hit!! Yes, it was alot of work, and yes it makes a lot of dirty dishes, but you end up with a very flavorful fried rice that has so much more flavor and so many more veggies than take-out!! I heartily recommend it!!
