A pretty glaze gives this tender, nutty bread a extra boost of lemony flavor. "I make it at least once a week. For variety, I substitute grated orange peel and orange juice for the lemons. —Laura Comitz, Enoa, Pennsylvania

Very tasty and I used almonds instead of Pecans. It was the only nuts I had on hand but will try pecans next time.I also used 1/2 the sugar and the taste was still there.

This was a great recipe. I shared it with my parents and they loved it, too. I baked it according to the directions and it was just right. Will definitely make again. Can't go wrong with pecans and lemon!

This was a pretty good recipe. I added walnuts instead of pecans, since that is what I had on hand. I added more zest than called for and wished I had added even more for a stronger lemon flavor. I also changed the glaze to fresh lemon juice and powdered sugar....overall a very yummy bread.

niest-you've probably learned how to toast nuts by now. For anyone else, I spread on a jellyroll pan and bake at 300 F. for 7-10 min. But watch closely so they don't scorch. Check out this website, if you like http://www.mybakingaddiction.com/how-to-toast-nuts-tutorial/

This "bread" is wonderful. Takes longer than indicated though. I have substituted orange & chocolate chips for lemon & pecans. It is a favorite and big hit.

Very moist, cake-like bread with a nicely tart, lemon tang. The pecans are a good addition. This would make a nice gift for special occasions and holidays.

I loved the lemon flavor and it was easy to make. My husband took it to work and everyone loved it.

This bread is GREAT if you like lemon. It is moist, and the nuts give a bit of a bite, and the glaze just tops it all off! I would definitely recommend this recipe!
