Soften yeast in cider. Add 4 cups of rye flour and 2 cups wholewheat flour and salt. Mix well. Let rise in a warm place for about 4 hours. Add prune juice and pear nectar or puree. Meanwhile, soak fruits, rind, nuts and spices in grape juice. Add them to the mixture. Stir in enough of the remaining flours to make a stiff dough. Knead. Shape into 4 or 5 round or oval loaves, and place on oiled, floured cookie sheets. Set in a warm place to rise. When loaves are 1/3 larger than the original size, brush with egg yolk diluted with water and bake at 350 F for about 1 hour and 20 minutes. The bread keeps well and improves with age.
