ingredients
4 cups chopped pecans
1 3/4 cup chopped candied pineapple
1 1/2 cup chopped dried peaches or apricots
1 1/2 cup golden raisins
2 cups all-purpose flour, divided
1 cup butter or margarine, softened

1/4 cup milk
1 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

directions
Grease and flour two 9 x 5 x 3-inch loaf pans. Line the bottoms with waxed paper; grease and flour the paper. Set aside.
Combine the pecans, pineapple, peaches, raisins and 1/2 cup flour; set aside.
In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar; add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add 1/2 cup peach nectar, honey, and milk; beat well {Mixture will appear curdled}. Combine cinnamon, baking powder, salt, allspice, and remaining flour; add to the creamed mixture and mix well. Add pecan mixture; stir well.
Pour into prepared pans. Bake at 325 degrees F for 1 1/2 hours or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes. With a skewer, poke holes in the loaves. Spoon remaining nectar over loaves.
Let stand 10 minutes; remove from pans to a wire rack to cool completely. Wrap tightly and store in a cool place. Slice and bring to room temperature before serving.
