Quick Fruitcake

Because so many of us don't like the original fruitcake with the candied fruits, I decided to try this one. It's so much better - and easier!! Yummmm. And just in time for Easter :)

1 package (15.6 ounces) cranberry-orange or blueberry quick bread mix
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup raisins or chopped dates
1/4 cup chopped maraschino cherries
1/4 cup crushed pineapple, drained

Prepare quick bread batter according to package directions. Stir in the remaining ingredients. Pour into a greased 9-in. x 5-in. stoneware loaf pan.

Bake at 350° for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack. Yield: 1 loaf. Enjoy!!
