This was a big hit with the entire family - even those not crazy about citrus ANYTHING.

Here's a suggestion:
A reason breads might not come out is not being baked quite enough. They should be just starting to pull away from the sides of the "pan".

Another suggestion:
After greasing the cans, lIne them with parchment paper. Cut a circle for the bottom, then a strip for the side. You want the circle a little bit large so it extends up the sides a tiny bit, then roll up the strip and put it in. The paper should overlap a little where the sides meet the bottom.

In the interest of full disclosure: I have not actually made this recipe. But, when I was a child, more years ago than I care to own up to, we used to buy canned date nut and brown bread, and I seem to remember that the can was usually lined with paper.

Also, to keep from messing up the star rating, I gave the same as the average at the time I rated it.

I followed this recipe to the letter, but I had a hard time trying to get them out of the cans. I loosened them with a knife, but they still wouldn't give. One of the three came out whole, with a lot of coaxing. I also found them to be very sweet, the dates do take over. Perhaps using less sugar might help. The cans I used were not made so they could be opened from either end. If they were, that might have helped.

I made the loaves and wrapped them as gifts. One of my mom's colleagues and she claimed it was, "The best bread I have ever had!" It's such a treat. Definitely a good present for someone you really care about.

I found this, very, time-consuming to prepare and, tho' I used 1 TBsp. zest of a giant orange, found the taste too subtle .. dates took over. The end result, however, was quite good - baked it as a mini-loaf plus 24 mini-mini-muffins & plan to serve to friends at lunch (with curried chicken salad from this website.

This recipe is a keeper! It is sooo easy to make and so good. The only thing I would caution the baker is to NOT OVERFILL the cans!!! :- Gale says to fill them to 3/4 full - if you put any more batter than that in the cans, you will get a mess! Take it from one who knows!!!

I WILL make this again and follow directions!!!!! :-
