Red wine and dried fruts Loaf

This loaf is ideal for home parties.
I used raisin and currant, cranberry for this loaf. I soak them with red wine. After soaking, red wine turn into sweet, contain dried fruits flavor.

I didnt use kneading machine, because I didnt want to crash reserved fruits with the kneading machine. I kneaded the dough by my hands gently.

The crust looks brown but the crum (dough) becomes light red color.
It taste sweet and fruity. I like it to taost lightly and have it with butter.
