My mother and I made a batch of these last night. We used a cup and a half of dried mixed berries in place of the fruit and raisins. The first batch came out a little dense (maybe we goofed somehow) and looked a little flat coming out of the oven, but the more we "taste-tested" it, the better we liked it. The mixed berries were scrumptious and probably a good substitute for the candied fruit. I haven't tasted the second batch, but they looked fluffier and lighter than the first. So I have a new Christmas bread recipe to play with! Thanks! :-)

This is very good. It is moist and flavorful. It baked in exactly 35 minutes in the small loaf pans, came out of the pans perfectly, and are very pretty when cut. I used only red and green candied cherries and the raisins. Good gift!
