“This is another great holiday bread to make that belonged to my mother. She sometimes served this one, and it is a very old recipe. This bread is good the first day, but better the second. You may use dates instead of raisins if you wish.” - by Carol

"Yummy! I made it as muffins and I made a few changes...I used whole wheat flour and brown sugar, added two tablespoons of applesauce instead of the melted butter, and omitted the orange zest. It was ..." See moreyummy but not terribly sweet...exactly what I was looking for. Excellent! 5 stars. Thanks Carol! "
