  1. This is an excellent fruit bread. We enjoyed it toasted and spread with honey butter for breakfast this morning. It was easy to make and the baking time was spot on for me. I think it would make a lovely addition to a holiday gift basket. Thanks Mikekey for sharing your recipe!
     
  2. We love this bread! I'm going to try and double it next time because we eat it so quickly! Has anyone tried doubling? Sue
     
  3. What a wonderful flavor this tea bread has. I loved this moist, tender, tasty treat. It was quick and easy to make with excellent results. Just perfect for the snowy days we have been having, comfort food to the max now pass the tea. Loved the blending of flavors and how nothing over powers each other. Thanks for sharing another winner Mikekey.
     
  4. A wonderful tasty, moist tea bread! I used melted butter and added the zest of a small orange to the batter, great combination of flavours - orange and apricot! A nice easy recipe, thanks Mike.
