Personal Notes:
Freezes well. One of my favorites that grandma made! As a child I always went right for this bread on the treat table. It just isn't Christmas for me unless this bread is on the treat table. It's a little time intensive to make, but when I bake this bread, I recall happy days and holidays on the farm. *Apricot nectar can be found either in the baking aisle, with the juices or near the drink mixes at the grocery store.
