This is a good bread. I did make quite a few changes however. I used 3 cups chopped tomatos, cranberries instead of raisins, applesause instead of water, brown sugar instead of white and half ap flour half wheat. Oh and no cloves. What came out was a tasty bread. I do wish that I had added the water because it could have used the added moisture. This made one bundt pan and 1 loaf pan. Thanks for a great recipe!
