This bread was indeed moist, but I found the cloves to be overwhelming, even after the second day. I followed the recipe to the letter, but couldn't even taste the peaches because of the clove taste. I may try your other peach bread recipe next time.

Ok, I'm hooked. I was getting ready to try this bread out yesterday when my mom stopped by so I ended up doubling it so she could take a loaf home. I only had one bag of frozen peaches so I threw in a can of sliced peaches out of the pantry. I didn't add the nuts but put raisins in instead. Perfect! I did take mine out of the oven about 5 minutes early and it was slightly overdone but that could very well be my oven. It was still very moist.

I am in love with this peach bread. I used fresh peaches and it came out very moist. I especially loved the rum spice flavor. Very distinctive and different. I am making another loaf this morning. WeeHeeeee!!!

This peach bread is awe-some!!! A welcome change from boring banana-nut bread. The loaf was moist and had a delicate rum flavor. I used fresh peaches and left out the almonds. The peach flavor was stronger the second day. My family was impressed and this is good with your morning cup of coffee. Thanks Nurse Di.
