Tip
I based this recipe on the apricot loaf that you get in Bakers Delight. I love the sesame seeds on the top. i would still like to load it with more fruit so think ill do it agian and try doubling the fruit. Still delicious how it is though.

This was absolutely amazing! I swapped a few ingredients to fit what I had which worked out fine. My hubby and colleagues all really enjoyed this. Needed nothing but a knob of butter on it. Great toasted. Lasted well. Thank you so much, will make again and again!
