You will use one 9x5" loaf pan for this. Spray inside with non stick spray lightly and shake some flour in while patting it around so it slides out nicely when done. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
In a bowl whisk sugar, eggs, vanilla together and then add softened butter and whisk until smooth.
In another bowl whisk together dry ingredients. Then slowly incorporate this into your butter, wet, mixture.
Gently fold in fruit and pecans so it is incorporated nicely. Then pour batter into your pan and bake for 1 hour 10 minutes until toothpick comes out clean.
Cool in pan on wire rack for 15 minutes, then loosen slides with a knife and slide out. Set that on your cooling rack to completely cool.
Slice and serve.
