The name of this loaf is 100% on the nose. Simply scrumptious! I used 3/4 cup of Splenda for the sugar and an orange/peach blend juice (all I had on hand) and it came out perfect. This is simple to make and mine was ready in 45 -50 mins. If you like fruity quick breads you will surely love this recipe. Made for PAC, Spring 2011
