Honey adds natural sweetness and moisture.

Combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and grated coconut in a bowl and mix well. Set aside.

In another bowl, combine mixed fruit, egg, oil, melted butter, vanilla, coconut milk, and brown sugar. Mix well until combined.

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently fold them together, avoiding overmixing the batter.

Transfer the batter to a greased loaf pan, leveling it off and tapping it on the countertop to remove air bubbles.

Top the batter with more mixed fruit before baking.

Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C) and bake for about 1 hour, checking to avoid cracks by keeping the temperature low.

After about 1 hour and 10 minutes, check if the bread is done.

Prepare a sugar water glaze by mixing equal parts sugar and water, and pour it over the top of the baked bread.

Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
