2 1/4 cups mixed dried fruit cut up small
3 tsps. allspice
1 1/2 tsp nutmeg
3/4 tsp ground cloves

5 1/4 cups hot water
1 cup molasses
1/2 cup honey
4 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
3 tsps baking soda
1 1/2 cup oat bran
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
Put water, fruit and spices into a large microwaveable bowl.
Cover and heat on high for 10 minutes.
Remove and stir in molasses and honey; cool.
Mix flour, bran and soda.
Combine fruit and flour mixtures.
Stir until completely mixed.
Pour into three non-stick loaf pans.
Bake at 325 till done (a toothpick comes out clean).
It took mine about 55 minutes.

If it gets dry, moisten with orange or other fruit juice and allow it to soak in.
