     1/2   c            Almonds, blanched chopped
                        Confectioners' glaze **

   * Candied citron or citrus peel, diced **
  Confectioners' glaze or powdered sugar ~ In a medium
  bowl combine raisins, cherries, currants, citron or
  citrus peel, and rum.  Set aside.  In a large mixer
  bowl combine 1-1/2 cups of the flour and yeast.  Heat
  milk, butter, sugar and salt over low heat, stirring
  constantly until warm (120F to 130F).  Add to dry
  ingredients along with eggs and fruit peels.  Beat at
  low speed of electric mixer for 1/2 minute, scraping
  sides of bowl.  Beat 3 minutes at high speed. Stir in
  fruit-rum mixture, almonds and enough of the remaining
  flour to make a soft dough. Turn out onto a lightly
  floured surface and knead in enough of the remaining
  flour to make a moderately soft dough that is smooth
  and elastic (5 to 6 minutes). Shape into a ball. Place
  in a greased bowl, turning once. Cover. Let rise until
  double (1 hour). Punch dough down. Divide in half.
  Cover and let rest 10 minutes.
  
  On a lightly floured surface roll each half to a
  10x8-inch oval. Fold lengthwise in half so the top
  half overlaps to within 1/2 inch of the bottom half.
  Press folded edge firmly.  Place about 4-inches apart
  on greased baking sheet.  Cover and let rise until
  double (45 minutes). Bake in a 375F oven for 15 to 20
  minutes or until golden brown. Cool.
  
  Serve sprinkled with powdered sugar or spread with
  Confectioners' Glaze and decorate with candied
  cherries.  Makes 2 loaves.
  
    CONFECTIONERS' GLAZE
  
    Mix 1 cup sifted powdered sugar and 1 tablespoon
  milk.  Add more milk, 1/2 teaspoon at a time, until
  spreading consistency.
