Directions
1- Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
2- Cream butter and sugar: In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
3- Blend eggs and vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
4- Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
5- Combine mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
6- Add fruit and nuts: Fold in the mixed dried fruit and chopped nuts.
7- Add orange juice: Pour the orange juice over the mixture and gently stir until well incorporated.
8- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 70-80 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
