Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Delicious Eggnog Fruit Bread.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C). While the oven warms up, take an 8x4 inch loaf pan and lightly grease it to ensure your bread comes out easily after baking. In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, white sugar, and beaten eggs. Mix them together until they form a smooth and creamy blend. Now, it's time to add the dry ingredients! Gradually stir in the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt, alternating with the rich eggnog. This will keep the mixture moist and fluffy, so don’t rush it! Once everything is combined and the dry ingredients are just moistened, gently fold in the chopped pecans, raisins, and those vibrant candied cherries. This adds a delightful crunch and sweetness to your bread. Spoon the luscious batter into your prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly. Now, pop it into the preheated oven and let it bake for about 70 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when the top is golden brown and springs back when lightly touched. Once baked, let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy the delightful aroma filling your kitchen!
How to Serve
Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. This bread pairs wonderfully with a cup of coffee or tea, making it a perfect treat for breakfast or an afternoon snack.
How to Store
Store any leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week. You can also freeze it for longer storage; just wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and foil before freezing.
