Really good loaf, but I will also cut down on the orange a bit next time, as the pumpkin is overpowered. I also had difficulty with the food processor (small chopper) not getting all the peel into small enough pieces so next time I'll zest first. I had to pick all the big pieces out of the batter and cut them by hand! Yikes! Other than that, definately a keeper!

I substituted dried cranberries for the raisins and left out the nuts. This recipe is awesome! My mom is a super-chef and she couldn't duplicate it! This is the first recipe I've had my family of chefs *request* that I make for Christmas. Delicious!

This recipe was good, but not my favorite pumpkin bread recipe. I went with what the recipe said and I have to agree with the others, the orange flavor of one whole orange is just too strong. I also left out the raisins and used splenda instead of sugar. Also as a plus, it did stand up to my forgetting it in the oven for a while. :)

This recipe is sooo good! When I was little my mom used to make this but she lost the recipe. I suprised her last year with this recipe when she came down and WOW! Just like the one mom used to make! So good with cinnabutter!

This was a very good, moist bread but, as others have said, there is just too much orange. I'd leave out the peel next time since that's where so much of the overpowering orange taste comes from.

Amazing! The nuts make it so don't skip them if you don't have to. Mine took 1hr 10min to bake.

I don't really "appreciate" sweet, quick breads - but this one is a winner! I doubled the recipe and used three mandarine oranges (311 grams total). Excellent. It made one regular loaf as well as five "mini" loaves. I put chocolate chips in some and dried cranberries in others - very happy!

This bread is fantastic! The combination of flavors compliment each other quite well. I've had many requests for this recipe. In fact I have a girlfriend who now expects this as her gift each Christmas.
