I'm sorry to say that I did not like this at all. I love peaches but it tasted odd to me. I also cooked it for longer than stated and it still tasted doughy. -
I used can peaches since the recipe didn't specify and I think I probably should have used fresh peaches because you could barely taste the peach in the bread and I think fresh ones would have been more flavorful. Actually the bread tasted nothing like peaches and I had to cook it a lot longer than the recipee said. Still after the extra time it came out tasting doughy and undercooked. However, I am still giving the recipee a 3 because it did have a good overall taste.
