¾ cup orange juice
1 tsp. fresh orange peel or reconstituted dried orange peel
1 large egg, beaten
2 Tbs. vegetable oil, I prefer canola
2 cups all purpose flour
¾ cup white granulated sugar
1-1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
½ tsp baking soda
1 cup coarsely chopped dried apricots
Preheat oven to 350º F, spray a 1 lb. loaf pan
with bakers cooking spray (with flour), set aside.
In a medium sized bowl, whisk
together the orange juice, orange peel, egg and oil; set aside. In a large bowl stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda. Add the liquid mixture and stir just until moistened. Do not over mix at this point; you just want the flour mixture to get wet. Fold in the chopped apricots. Pour batter into prepared 1 lb. loaf pan
and bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center come out clean. Cool for 10 minutes in the pan placed on a wire cooling rack
. Remove the bread from the pan and cool completely on wire cooling rack
