A great loaf to warm you up on a cold, rainy day. It's bursting with apricot and orange flavor and sure to put a pleasant smell in the air when it's baked.

A Enjoyed this bread very much. It had great flavor. I made it exactly as the recipe called for. The only thing I'll do differently next time is add more apricots. And thats only because I prefer more fruit in my fruit breads. Read More

It needs salt! And Baking powder or soda or whatever one helps things rise. It was flat and hard. I can see how it could be yummy with the addition of a few things. Read More

I made this recipe to give it a face for the AllRecipes Allstars challenge. Very easy to make. I took it to work and everyone really liked it. A couple of people said that it seemed a little flat. May have to tweak a little next time. Read More

I was not overly thrilled with this loaf. My husband wasn't either. It was a bit dry and seems to either be missing something or the existing ingredients don't meld together just right. Unless you enjoy a very lightly sweetened fruit bread you might want to try it. Otherwise I'm sure there are better choices. My kids would not even touch this. Read More

One daughter doesn't like raisins and the other doesn't like dried apricots but they both liked this. I didn't chop the raisins but otherwise stuck to the recipe exactly. One word of warning I sliced this whilst still warm and it crumbled but once cold it was fine. Thanks. Read More

Good tasting bread but I had to bake it for 1 hour before it was done. I find the recipe too sweet though next time I will use half the sugar. Instead of 1/2 cup raisins I used 1/4 cup raisins and 1/4 cup tropical mix dried fruit. Read More

I made this to serve at a brunch as a not-too-sweet addition to the bread tray. Everyone liked it. I didn't get 1 TBSP of zest from my small orange so added a bit of natural orange extract to the batter to bump up the orange flavor. I used more apricots so also added an extra splash of o.juice. My loaf needed 50 minutes in the oven. As an alternative next time I will increase the butter by 2-3 TBSP to keep it moist maybe add some Cointreau to the dried fruit and o.j. mixture possibly increase the sugar slightly to make it more of a cake rather than a loaf Read More
