Measure carefully, adding ingredients in bread machine pan in the order recommended by the manufacturer - except cherries, raisins or currants and almonds. Select Sweet or Basic/White cycle. Use Light or Medium crust color. Add red and green candied cherries, raisins or currants, and almonds at the raisin/nut cycle or 5 minutes before last kneading cycle ends. The dough becomes Very Soft and Wet in appearance at this point! Do Not add flour, as the bread will become tough.

Remove baked bread from pan and cool on wire rack. Per Serving: 260 calories, 7 g protein, 45 g carbohydrate, 4 g fat, 2 g dietary fiber, 345 mg sodium, 2 mg iron. Each one pound loaf makes 8 servings.
