Apple-Orange Bread-lilymouse
2 large unpeeled baking apples,
cored and quartered
1 large unpeeled orange,
quartered
1 1/2 cups raisins
2/3 cup shortening
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
1 tsp. lemon extract
4 cups all purpose flour
2 tsps baking powder
1 1/2 tsps baking soda
1 tsp. salt
2/3 cup orange juice
1 cup chopped walnuts
In a blender or food processor, process apples, oranges and raisins until finely chopped; set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream shortening and sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition; beat until light and fluffy. Beat in extract. Combine dry ingredients; add to creamed mixture alternately with orange juice. Stir in fruit mixture and nuts until thoroughly mixed.
Pour into 3 greased 8 x4x2 in loaf pans. Bake at 350* for 50-55 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool in pans for 10 minutes before removing to wire racks to cool completely. Yield, 3 loaves.
NOTE* Using 3x5 alum. foil pans, I get 6 well filled loaves and check after 40-45 minutes baking time.
