5. I used two (9x5x2 3/4") loaf pans as this is what I had.
6. Combine apricot nectar, dates, apricots in a med saucepan; bring to boiling.
7. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 5 minutes.
8. Remove from heat.

14. Alternately add in flour mix and date mix to batter, beating just until combined after each addition.
15. Spread batter in prepared baking pans.
16. Bake in a 375 deg F oven until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean, allowing about 25 minutes for the 4 1/2x2 1/2" pans, about 35 minutes for the 5 1/2x3" pans and about 40 minutes for the 7 1/2x3 1/2" pans.
17. Cold in pans for 10 minutes.
18. Remove from pans; cold completely on wire racks.
