I think we can all collectively breathe a sigh of relief that winter is just about behind us. I, for one, am so looking forward to the first day of spring to come next week. Even though we have been getting hit with snow off and on this month, I can see my tulips trying to push their way through the dirt and the hyacinths won't be far behind them, and that means sunny days and warmer weather are on the horizon. Yippee! I haven't been very motivated to bake throughout the cold weather months, but yesterday the sun was shining and I thought it would be a fabulous time to pull out my bread pans and make a loaf that would be perfect for spring. I had all of the ingredients on hand for this Fruit and Honey Tea Loaf recipe that's on Golden Blossom Honey's recipe page, so I gathered up my ingredients and went to work. 

 

 

This bread is packed with apricot, prune, and lemon flavors, making it one of the most perfect breads for this time of the year. Not only as warmer days approach and we might be thinking of taking our tea and bread out on the porch for bird watching, but it is a nice one to have for Easter breakfast as well as afternoon brunch on Mother's Day. I eat this bread plain since there are already so many flavors it doesn't need any additional help, but a smidge of cream cheese, a pat of butter, or a drizzle of honey might just take this recipe from ordinary to extraordinary. If you make it, let me know if you add on a little something extra to the top or if you prefer to keep it plain like I do.
