The recipe was fairly easily to make. The hardest part was removing the tiny seeds from the kumquat. The combination of the nuts and kumquat is delicious. Shared the loaf I made with family and the liked it a lot. Best when eaten hot with butter.

Made this with half all-purpose flour and half whole wheat flour. I had a little extra puree so of course I used it. I liked this with pecans. A beautiful looking loaf, everyone liked it. If anything I might add a little extra brown sugar next time.
