Marmalade Nut Bread

Submitted by Annacia

"This is a very good quick bread. This is the recipe as I got it but I really prefer ginger marmalade in this. When I use the ginger marmalade I do not add the orange rind."

This was nice but came out a bit dry. I added some sliced crystallized ginger into it in place of the orange zest (no good oranges on hand). The taste is nice and sweet.

This bread has a great taste. But I prefer without walnuts (personal taste) I had to much trouble to combine the dry ingredients to the wet. I don't know what happened. And after 1 hour in the oven, it was cracked like it was cooked through. But after I took the photo, I saw that in the middle it's still unbaked :( I'll have to try it again soon without walnuts. Thanks Annacia :) Made for 123 hit wonders

This is very tasty! I used Splenda instead of sugar, because marmalade has plenty of sugar in it. I am going to hunt down some ginger marmalade and try that version! Makes a nice high loaf.
