ZUCCHINI FRUIT COCKTAIL LOAF

Zucchini Fruit Cocktail Loaf image

I was raised on a farm and learned to cook at a young age. My mother was so good at substituting ingredients if she thought something was missing in a recipe, so I tried the same when I first baked this bread. I added the fruit cocktail for more flavor and moisture-and it worked.
