Recipe - Gumdrop Bread

2 One half cup Flour
1 One fourth cup Buttermilk
One half cup Sugar
One half cup Packed brown sugar
One fourth cup Shortening
2 Eggs
3 teaspoon Baking powder
1 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Vanilla
One half teaspoon Baking soda
1 cup Small gumdrops cut into 1/2
One half cup Chopped nuts

Beat all ingredients except gumdrops and nut in a large mixer bowl on low
speed for 15 seconds. Beat on medium speed, scraping bowl constantly, 30
seconds. Stir in gumdrops and nuts. Pour into a 9 X 5 inch loaf pan that
has been greased on the bottom only. Bake at 350F for 60 to 65 minutes, or
until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean. Loosen sides of
loaf from the pan. Remove bread from the pan and cool completely on wire
rack. For best results, wrap and refrigerate at least 24 hours before
slicing. Refrigerate no longer than 1 week.
