Mincemeat Loaf
This bread is made with meatless mincemeat, which consists of raisins and spices. Serve slices with sherry hard sauce for a special occasion. It's also got more fiber than most special festive breads because it contains whole-wheat flour.

Sherry Hard Sauce
Hard sauce is used on all sorts of heavy bread puddings. It's traditional, delicious, and very fattening. It adds no fiber at all. However, if you decide to go for it, use ½ teaspoon per serving. To make it, combine 1/2 cup soft unsalted butter with ½ cup powdered sugar and 2 teaspoons sherry with an electric mixer until fluffy and light. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
