2051.0. "BREAD: Fruit and/or Nut Quickbreads" by PMROAD::JEFFRIES () Wed Oct 18 1989 12:14

    I thought that I would start a note on fruit/nut breads, like Date Nut,
    Cranberry Nut and what not. There seems to be a tendancy for recipes to
    be scattered all over the file. I will continue to use the same note
    for adding varieties. 
    
    Well here goes.
