Cranberry Apple Bread

1-1/2 cups bread flour
1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon cloves
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
3/4 cup dark brown sugar
2 eggs
1/3 cup milk
3/4 cup cranberries, coarsely chopped
3/4 cup apple, finely chopped
3/4 cup walnuts, chopped

GLAZE
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 teaspoons milk

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
To make bread, combine flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves in a large bowl until well blended. In another large bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and creamy. Beat in eggs, one at a time, until well blended. Alternately beat flour mixture and milk into butter-and-sugar mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Stir in cranberries, apples, and walnuts until just combined. Turn into greased and floured 9 x 5-inch loaf pan. Bake about 50 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool bread 10 minutes in the pan on a wire rack. Remove loaf from pan and cool completely on rack. To make glaze, combine confectioners’ sugar and milk in a bowl until smooth. Drizzle over bread.
