What a lovely tea bread this recipe makes. I made half the recipe and was very happy with the loaf. It was terrific, rose beautifully, was full of flavor, had great texture and it was tender and light. Just perfect for after dinner with a cup of tea. The lemon glaze is perfect, soft and subtle and it compliments the kiwis perfectly. Thank you for sharing this lovely recipe, that will be enjoyed again. Made for the Fearless Red Dragons - ZWT8 - Australia.

This is simply a delicious quick bread. I might add a touch more lemon peel next time, but the recipe really is near perfect. Thank you for sharing.
