This makes two loaves. A very moist nut bread with an orange glaze on top. Delicious! They make nice gifts if you tuck one in a basket with a pretty napkin and bow. This is one of the recipes that I did in "Christmas Goodie Class" a couple of years ago. Everyone got to taste it and loved it. Enjoy!
