Hi I'm a 11 year old boy. I made this recipe for the county fair. I belong to 4H. I won a blue ribbon from the county judge & was sent to State Fair. The county judge loved it , like my family & friends did (of course I used peach nectar) Last Sat my peach bread went to state fair. I won a red ribbon . The judge said may be I should have used a differnt fruit. I guess I was not to diappointed because I know it wonderful bread wth peaches Just like all you reiewers. Thank you. Jm, in NY

Very nice flavor and texture. Nice and moist. I think my son describes it best... "MMMMMMM!!!" I did think there was a typo when I read that all the mixture goes in one pan, as it was all the way to the top, but I had no spillover and it baked thoroughly in the alloted amount of time.
