Zucchini Fruit Cocktail Loaf

By: Margaret Sercer 
"I was raised on a farm and learned to cook at a young age. My mother was so good at substituting ingredients if she thought something was missing in a recipe, so I tried the same when I first baked this bread. I added the fruit cocktail for more flavor and moisture--and it worked."
