Sign inThis recipe for orange bread, originally called "Grandma-Ag's orange bread" by the recipe contributor, makes a quickbread flavored with orange peel. From the original contributor:"This bread is a fond memory of my childhood, visiting Agnes Frances Primm, my Grandma-Ag. As a young adult, I tried to duplicate the recipe, and unable, I went back and begged her for the secrets of it. When I asked her how long it had taken to develop the tricky recipe, she flattened my ego by telling me she'd gotten it out of a magazine years before! I like to make it for Christmas."
