This is an old family favorite...I make it at Christmas time. We originally made it with walnuts but I like it better with pecans.

1 C. sugar
2 tbls. soft shortening
1 egg
3/4 C. orange juice
3/4 C. milk
1 tsp. orange rind
3 C. flour
3 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
3/4 C. nuts
1 C. chopped apricots

Mix all ingredients together and bake 60-70 minutes in a greased loaf pan at 350 degrees.
