1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
3/4 cup sugar
2 beaten eggs
1 cup milk
1/2 cup margarine (I use Butter Flavored Crisco)

3/4 cup chopped pecans (optional)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine sugar,
margarine and eggs, beat with rotary mixer til fluffy.
Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
Add milk to egg mixture and then slowly beat in flour
mixture. Stir in mincemeat and nuts.
Pour into two (2) well greased loaf pans or
one (1) angel food pan.
Bake 1 hour and 25 minutes.
Store in a cool place.
I drizzle on the top of bread, melted butter and brown sugar,
add enough confectionery sugar to make a glaze.
My brother, Billy, loves this bread! He requests for me to make it every Christmas!
