INGREDIENTS

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 (4 ounce) jars apricot baby food, divided
  • 1 egg
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 2/3 cup sliced almonds, coarsely chopped
  • 1/2 cup diced dried apricots
  • GLAZE:
  • 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 1 teaspoon milk
  • 1/8 teaspoon almond extract

DIRECTIONS

  1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugars, baking powder and salt. Set aside 1 tablespoon baby food for glaze. In another bowl, beat the egg, milk, oil, extract and remaining baby food. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in almonds and apricots. Pour into a greased 9-in. x 5-in. x 3-in. loaf pan. Bake at 350 degrees F for 55-65 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from the pan to a wire rack.
  2. For glaze, combine the confectioners' sugar, milk, extract and reserved baby food until smooth. Drizzle over cooled bread.
