Post more recipes! This was delighful. I used very ripe kiwi's and I added 1/4 cup honey to the batter. Its a keeper.

I buy kiwis in bulk from Costco, this is a great way to use those ones that you have left. I would definitely add the honey to it though, and next time I will make muffins with it. It fell apart coming out of the pan, but oh well only the taste matters. It has an interesting flavor but is not bad, and I don't know what the problem is with the crust because it tasted perfectly normal to me. Thanks for the recipe!

I used overly ripe kiwi fruit. This was terrific. My friend and I killed a whole loaf with our tea this morning.
