Lightly spoon flour into measuring cup; level off. In large bowl, combine 2 cups flour, sugar, dry milk, salt, 2 tsps. cardamom, pumpkin pie spice and yeast; mix well. In small saucepan, heat water, 1 cup of milk, shortening and 2 tablespoons margarine until very warm (120 to 130). Add warm liquid and egg to flour mixture. Blend at low speed until moistened; beat 3 minutes at medium speed. Add dried fruit; mix well. By hand, stir in an additional 3 to 3 1/2 cups of flour until dough pulls cleanly away from sides of bowl. On floured surface, knead ub remaining 1 to 1 1/2 cups of flour until dough is smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Place dough in greased bowl; cover loosely with greased plastic wrap and cloth towel. Let rise in warm place (80 to 85) until light and doubled in size, 45 to 60 minutes. Grease 2 cookie sheets. Punch down dough several times to remove all air bubbles. Divide dough into 4 parts. Shape each part into 24 inch rope; place 2 ropes side by side on each greased cookie sheet. Twist ropes several times. Form each into wreath by bringing ends together to form circle; pinch ends firmly to seal. Cover; let rise in warm place until light and doubled in size, 20 to 30 minutes. Uncover dough. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when lightly tapped. Immediately remove from cookie sheets, cool on wire racks. In small bowl, blend all glaze ingredients, adding enough milk for desired consistency. Drizzle over cooled wreaths.
