Apricot Bread

A beautiful loaf flecked with golden nuggets from the apricots. This is a baking soda bread, rich with eggs and butter. It produced a fine densely textured bread with a wonderful flavor.

We didn't add the nuts (kids with braces). Our apricots were cut into fairly large chunks (size of a whole almond), which tended to sink to the bottom. I would advise cutting the apricots into pieces more like the size of a pea so they will remain suspended in the loaf.
