Bread - Apple Orange Nut Loaf

2 large oranges
1 cup seedless raisins
2 cups canned apple sauce
4 cups sifted flour
4 tsp baking powder
2 tsp baking soda
2 cups sugar
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups chopped nuts (if you don't like 'em, leave 'em out)
2 eggs (beaten)
6 Tbsp melted butter

Squeeze juice from oranges.  Using medium blade, put rind of 1/2 orange and raisins through food chopper.  Add orange juice, rind and raisins to apple sauce.

Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar and slat; add apple sauce mixture and nuts.  Mix thoroughly.

Add eggs and melted butter or margarine; stir until thoroughly blended.  Pour into 2 greased loaf pans, 9 x 5 x 3".  Bake in moderate oven, 350 degrees, 1 hour and 15 minutes.  Remove from pans and cool on wire rack.  The bread will slice better if allowed to stand 12 hours.  Makes 2 loaves.
