Bread Machine Fruit Loaf Recipe from: Barb Lepsoe, Cloverdale

1 cup milk
1 egg, beaten
2 tbsp cooking oil
3/4 tsp salt
3 cups flour
3 tbsp sugar
1 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground cloves
2 1/2 tsp bread machine yeast
2/3 cup dried Rancho cranberries
2/3 cup Bakers Medley
1 1/2 tsp grated lemon peel

Place the first ten ingredients in order into the bread pan, and place pan in bread machine. Put on sweet bread and regular crust settings. When the machine beeps, or 30 – 35 minutes later, add the dried fruits and lemon peel. Bread will take about 3.5 hours to bake.

Glaze if desired, when cool. Mix 1/2 cup icing sugar with 1/4 tsp vanilla and 1 tsp milk or enough to get a runny consistency.
