Preparation
Step 1
Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Cream the butter and sugar in a large bowl. Beat in the orange zest and eggs, 1 at a time. Add the orange juice and milk and beat until mixed thoroughly. It will appear curdled.
Add the flour mixture and beat until it is just moistened. Stir in the apricots, walnuts, and cranberries.
Place baking rack in middle of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour 5 (5 3/4- by 2 1/4-inch) loaf pans.
Pour the batter into the pans. Bake for 45 minutes. Test for doneness with a toothpick -- it should come out clean. Remove the bread from the pans, transfer to a wire rack, and let them cool on their sides.
This recipe yields 5 small loaves.
