Mango-Apricot Bread

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.
