I gave this recipe 3 stars. This is really good. I decided to use the butter and not shortening. I didn't add the nuts as my future hubby doesn't like nuts. I didn't really taste the peaches in this bread but it was still very good. My future hubby said it didn't matter it was still very good. I have a copy of this recipe. My copy of this recipe is called Louisiana Peach Loaf. My copy is slightly different it calls for 1/2 cup butter instead of shortening. The rest is the same. Thanks for posting a good recipe.

This was a great easy recipe. The bread was very moist and nice and sweet with a wonderful mild peach flavor. It was especially wonderful just out of the oven with butter melted on it.

The bread was very good. I used 2 cans of sliced peaches (drained) and left out the 6 Tbsp. of sugar since this is the middle of January and no fresh peaches at a reasonable price. This has gone into my cookbook.

This was good but I couldn't taste the peaches. Maybe they weren't ripe enough. Maybe next time I'll add chunks of canned peaches along with the pureed fresh. Also, the bread didnt' rise much and probably could have used one pan. It did taste good but more like a spice cake. I want to try again.
