| 1. Preheat the oven to 350*F and lightly grease a bread pan. The original recipe calls for 2 bread pans, but the bread doesn't rise at all so it bakes nicely in one pan. | 2. In a mixer cream together the brown sugar, shortening and butter. | 3. Add flour, salt, grated coconut, raisins, cherries, nutmeg and mix well. | 4. Stir in almond extract, evaporated milk, and water, until a firm dough is formed. (You may need to add additional water.). | 5. Split the dough evenly between the two pans, and use a knife to cut a diagonal criss-cross pattern on the top of each loaf. Sprinkle 1 tbsp turbinado sugar over the top of each loaf. | 6. Bake for about 1 hour, until a skewer inserted into the center of the loaves comes out clean (Or a digital thermometer reads 190*F.) Cool completely in the pans before removing. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
