I was looking for some relatively healthy baking recipes, and someone pointed me in the direction of this one. It is low in saturated fat and cholesterol.

Steps

Lightly oil two 9x5-inch loaf pan.
Cook apricots in water in a covered medium-size saucepan for 10-15 minutes or until tender but not mushy.
Drain.
Reserve 3 / 4 cup liquid.
Set apricots aside to cool.
Cream together margarine and sugar.
By hand , beat in egg and orange peel.
Sift together flour , dry milk , baking powder , soda , and salt.
Add to creamed mixture alternately with reserved apricot liquid and orange juice.
Stir apricot pieces and pecans into batter.
Turn batter into prepared pans.
Bake for 40-45 minutes or until bread springs back when lightly touched in center.
Cool 5 minutes in pan.
Remove from pan and completely cool on wire rack before slicing.
