So we had to make a loaf for Christmas Day! We started with a basic Amish Bread (great Amish Cinnamon Bread recipe) then added in all the extras heard in the song!
Batter:
1 cup butter, softened
2 cups sugar
2 eggs
2 cups butter milk
4 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
additions:
1/4 cup plums and prunes (we just used the dried prunes for both), diced

2 cups sugar
2 eggs
2 cups butter milk
4 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking soda

1/4 cup dried cherries, diced

Additions:
Put 1/4 of batter in each greased loaf pan. Combine all additions that you're going to use, then layer half in each pan. Top with remaining batter. Bake at 350 degrees in a preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until toothpick tester comes clean. Once cooled, spread glaze on top and enjoy!

This was so fun and way more edible than described in the song! Haha! Do you have any other unique Christmas songs for us to listen to this year?
