I think this recipe was a Godsend...for the past week my beloved had been reminding me to *please* eat the canteloupe sitting on the kitchen counter (4 lbs for a dollar! We couldn't resist!) and lo and behold, I found this recipe. It's extremely tasty and moist and yummy and and and...!

It was an excellent bread, except for the praline glaze which was a little to sweet. I will most certainly make again and put the nuts inside the bread and leave the glaze off.

I was skeptical when I saw the recipes, but the with bumper crop of cantaloupe this year, I had to try something new. I was so excited when it came out so moist and delicious. You can't even tell there is cantaloupe in it. I did put the nuts in the bread as suggested by others and omitted the praline topping. Also, I subsituted half of the sugar with Splenda. You can't even tell the difference. I may substitute more of the sugar next time and substitute half of the white flour for wheat flour so my diabetic father can enjoy. Thank you SO much for sharing this recipe. Definitely the find of the season.

My fiance sprung this on me one night last summer. Tasted pretty fine, though I wasent to pleased with the ingrediants (I prefer meat, even in my cakes; cantaloupe takes some getting used to). Overall a big thumbs up. Ill get her to make it again for me! Was great while watching the hockey game.

This bread was excellent. Very easy to make and a good way to use up cantaloupe that has overripened. I made some modifications to "healthy" it up. I discarded 2 of the egg yolks, replaced 1/2 of the oil with plain non-fat yogurt, replaced one of the cups of flour with wheat flour, and used 1 1/2 c. of sugar instead of 2 c. I added walnuts also because I love walnuts. I did not make a praline glaze for the bread. I think it still turned out excellent with the modifications.

I was searching for a recipe to use up some canteloupe. Came across this one and although it sounded weird, I gave it a try. I made half of the recipe - just in case. I went with some of the other suggestions and left out the glaze, adding walnuts to the batter. What a pleasant surprise! Didn't tell my fiancee what it was until I got the thumbs up. He was surprised but ate it up! Now I wish I had made the whole recipe! Will make again.

This was a wonderful moist bread that kept well for days. I was really surprised that it didn't taste like cantaloupe. Not weird at all. It was wonderful and my family loved it. I mixed the nuts in the bread as someone else suggested and instead of the icing on top and put a brown sugar and water glaze. That turned out great too!

This bread was great and really moist. I was apprehensive to make because of the odd use of cantaloupe, but I was so glad that I did. It was excellent. I did as another suggested and just added the pecans to the batter and skipped making the glaze. I made mini loaves of this bread for a bake sale at work and everyone who bought it loved it. I even surprised my husband, who hates cantaloupe, but loved the bread.

This is a copy of Marlen's cantaloupe bread recipe she has shared several times but never with the praline topping. That doesn't go with this bread at all.

i did not like the results, but my husband and co workers did. there wasn't any "cantelope taste" it was more like pumpkin bread. if i make again i will leave off the praline glaze and put the nuts in the bread itself.
