Amount Ingredient
4 cup chopped pecans
3/4 cup chopped candied pineapple
1/2 cup chopped dried peaches or apricots
1/2 cup golden raisins
2 cup all-purpose flour divided
1 cup butter or margarine softened
1 cup packed brown sugar

Instructions: Grease and flour two 9 x 5 x 3-inch loaf pans. Line the bottoms with waxed paper; grease and flour the paper. Set aside. Combine the pecans, pineapple, peaches, raisins and 1/2 cup flour; set aside. In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar; add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add 1/2 cup peach nectar, honey, and milk; beat well. (Mixture will appear curdled.) Combine cinnamon, baking powder, salt, allspice, and remaining flour; add to the creamed mixture and mix well. Add pecan mixture; stir well.

Pour into prepared pans. Bake at 325 degrees for 1 1/2 hours or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes. With a skewer, poke holes in the loaves. Spoon remaining nectar over loaves. Let stand 10 minutes; remove from pans to a wire rack to cool completely. Wrap tightly and store in a cool place. Slice and bring to room temperature before serving.
