  1. This recipe is great!! Mine came out more like a cake than a bread, but delicious!! I will be making more of it, as i have a few cans of fruit cocktail left over from making ambrosia!! Thank you!
     
  2. This bread is sweet and delicious and best served warm right out of the oven. The outside is firm/crusty and the inside is so moist. I was going to ice with powdered sugar icing but did not have any powdered sugar but this bread does not need it.
     
  3. Anytime I see 'fruit cocktail' I'm interested, just as your recipe drew my attention! I grew up loving that stuff! Made your recipe just as given, then managed to freeze a loaf before 4 of us almost devoured the other one! Very, very nice, & certainly worth making again! Thanks for sharing the recipe!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I live in southeastern South Dakota, near the Missouri River. I am managing editor of the weekly newspaper in a small town ten miles from where I live. I also keep busy with my 13 year old son's activities. It's been a challenge to learn to cook in smaller quantities since both of my daughters are grown and on their own. I enjoying cooking, baking, collecting cookbooks, trying new recipes, reading, hunting, fishing and bowling. My favorite cookbooks are church cookbooks. I have a church cookbook that I received from an aunt as a shower gift 25 years ago that has become "well-worn" and is my "go-to" cookbook along with a couple of other cookbooks that I frequently use. The rest of my cookbooks also get used but not as often as my favorites. My kids laugh at me as I read cookbooks like others read novels and always have sticky notes handy to mark pages with recipes that I want to try.
