Great, flexible recipe. Can easily mix-n-match veggies/fruits, as long as all are finely shredded (okay that's what works best with the kids, who love this bread). I find it a bit too sweet for my own tastes with the 1/2 cup sugar plus fruit juice, and I find that it is just as appealing to the kids with 1/4 cup sugar, no fruit juice, and 1/4 cup apple sauce in place of the oil. Very moist!
