Mango-Apricot Bread

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. 2
   Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
3. 3
   In a large bowl, combine flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.
4. 4
   In another bowl, beat together the butter, oil and sugar until light and fluffy (sometimes I just do this by hand instead of using the mixer; the mixture is less airy, and the bread becomes more dense and rich).
5. 5
   Stir in the egg, then the vanilla.
6. 6
   Blend this mixture into the flour mixture.
7. 7
   Now fold in the mango, apricots, walnuts and coconuts; do not overmix.
8. 8
   Pour batter into prepared loaf pan, then bake in preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
