Just for reference, here's a more recent performance:
 

Please consider getting a copy if you like using bread machines to make bread.  It was a gift to Cimmy and I from Leslie, my mother-in-law.

Ingredients (2 lb. amounts in parentheses)
1/2 C. (3/4 C.) canned or dairy eggnog
1/4 C. (1/2 C.) water
1 egg
2 T (3 T) butter or margarine, cut up
3 C. (4 C.) bread flour (all-purpose works fine)
2 T. (3 T.) sugar
3/4 t. (1 t.) salt
1/4 t. (1/2 t.) ground nutmeg
1 1/4 T. (1 1/2 T.) active dry yeast or bread machine yeast
1/3 C. (1/2 C.) mixed candied fruits and peels

Select loaf size and add ingredients to machine according to the manufacturer's directions for your machine.  Bake on basic white bread cycle.

The eggnog glaze is made from 1 cup sifted powdered (confectioner's) sugar and about 1-2 T. of eggnog, whisked together.  It should be of a "drizzling" consistency, according to the book.  If Purplesque can manage this with soynog, I guess I'll be damned.  I'm not sure of the other substitutions; I'm guessing the egg has to be replaced with oil and I'm assuming coconut oil (which is butter/margarine/shortening consistency at room temperature from what I've been told) or vegetable shortening would be the substitution for the butter or margarine.  I'm sure I will get a reply stating what worked for a vegan adaptation.
