May Recipes

~ Apricot Bread ~

This Apricot Nut Bread recipe was given to me by my Mom, and probably tops the list as "one of my favorites!" For some reason, it seems like I mostly bake it during the winter at Christmas.

Due to the fact that spring is finally just peeking around the corner, this is a great chicken salad recipe that I create on a sunny summer day. It makes me think of vacation, with a little hint of "south of border." I sometimes omit the clove ingredient.

Her Art Nest said...: Thanks everyone for your birthday wishes. I should mention that to really liven up the apricot bread, add 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts at the end. It is a wonderful recipe if you like apricots. Hugs, Nancy; May 18, 2011 at 10:43 PM

Her Art Nest said...: Hi all, I just noticed I have a serious typo in this recipe. Where it says 1 cup clove pressed garlic, it should read 1 clove of pressed garlic. Holy cow...now that would have been a dish to scare away vampires! Have a happy day!! Hugs, Nancy; June 13, 2011 at 12:51 PM
