Fruit 'n Nut Bread

Maple, Evershade's ornery head baker mouse, is famous for shaking her wooden spoon at anyone who riles her. But perhaps more famous than her cantankerous nature is her most prized baked item--her fruit 'n nut bread. This recipe calls for whatever fruit is in season, or dried fruit if necessary, and is baked with robust black walnut pieces in every loaf. If the Vaults are not running low on honey, this flavorful bread is served with whipped honey butter, a heavenly spread that melts in your mouth.

This time of year, Maple is baking apple fruit 'n nut bread, a favorite for many Keepers. Good smells of every sort waft from her bakery, just as they do in most of our homes this Thanksgiving.

As you close your eyes and savor the delicious aromas, please send a few good thoughts into the world for those who might spend this year alone or without the ones they love most. You are among the fortunate if you have a fine meal and loving and/or colorful family members to make memories with. Perhaps this is the year you share your meal with the neighbor whose wife passed, or the young college student far from home.

However you spend your holiday, I hope it is a pleasant time for you and yours.

Happy Harvest!
