Outstanding bread!! I admit that I didn't add dates but it came out amazing anyway. I made a full loaf of this for my father in-law's birthday and two mini loaves (you know, just to test) and they were barely out of the oven before I had to have a slice. I gave a piece to my husband and he ended up eating the rest of it! He said it was just like cake. Moist, rich, very flavorful. This would be good with candied ginger (but I need to try it with the dates, too!) I love the glaze, it's very much like candied orange peel (which would also be a gread add-in.) The only issue I had was that the glaze was still a bit gritty - maybe slowly heating to fully dissolve the sugar would avoid this - but that in no way detracted from the taste and the five star rating. Truly exceptional bread! This will indeed be a family staple.

After DH and I moved away from the farm, and to the city...I haven't done as much cooking and very little canning. But I do come to Zaar and look for new recipes once in a while. I'm still cooking Zaar!!
I like to play at Facebook, with my family and friends. A lot of my Zaar friends are there!! Yay! It's a good way to keep in touch.
We travel more. We're looking at the European trips now. Hope to go in the springtime. I really want to see London, I think I lived there in a past life, I've been obsessed with it since I was 10 years old!!
