Carrot Quick Bread

Like many of the recipes in this book, this is a basic recipe which can be adapted. He gives a basic recipe for fruit/vegetable quick bread with nuts or seeds, and suggests combinations that would work. I made this bread with orange juice, carrots and pumpkin seeds, and with brown sugar as suggested in the adaptation on pg. 844. It turned out nice and sturdy, with a deeper flavour from the brown sugar. I cut the sugar down to 3/4 cup, and it was fine. The only complaint is that it is a bit dry, but that can be fixed with tinkering I'm sure. I'm always looking for quick bread recipes to use up something or other, and this looks like a good starting point for improvising. (Truly the strength of this cookbook, as we know.)
