Apple Orange Nut BreadMay 17, 2009By salgeo
"I followed the recipes except adding half margarine and half canola oil for shortening. The bread took much longer to bake and the results were not at all good. The bread had no flavor and was baked around the edges but not in the middle despite the longer baking time - perhaps some orange extract or something would have given it the flavor it was lacking. Will not make again!"
