This bread is really good! The apricots and walnuts add a nice sweetness and crunch. I would recommend using a good quality apricot jam for the best flavor.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my bread turned out really dense and heavy. It was also a bit too sweet for my taste.

This bread is not good. It's too dry and the apricots are too tart. I would not recommend this recipe.

I thought this bread was just okay. It was a bit too dry for my taste. I might try adding some extra butter or oil next time.
