Whisk eggs in a medium bowl. Mix in milk and melted butter until well combined.
Step 2
Sift flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon into a large mixing bowl. Stir in sugar, pecans, almonds, citron, currants, cherries, and lemon peel until well combined. Add wet ingredients and stir just enough to blend. Pour batter into a generously greased 8×4-inch loaf pan. Let stand for 20 minutes.
