This fruit and nut bread is a great holiday recipe to make that belonged to my mother. This bread is good on the first day but even better on the second.

Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8x5-inch loaf pan.
Step 2
Beat egg in a small bowl. Mix in milk and melted butter; set aside.
Step 3
Sift flour, baking powder, and salt into a large bowl. Add raisins, walnuts, sugar, and orange zest; mix well. Blend in egg mixture until flour is just moistened. Transfer batter to the prepared pan and allow to rest for 20 minutes.
Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 55 to 60 minutes. Turn bread out onto a wire rack and cool for several hours before slicing.
