Dee's Date and Nut Bread image

My mother used to make this recipe in a long loaf pan which I don't believe they make any more. Fortunately, I have her pan and whenever I make this it sure brings back such happy memories.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted sunflower seeds in this recipe. It turned out great!

I followed the recipe exactly but my bread turned out dry. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This bread was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good.

I'm not a big fan of dates, but I really enjoyed this bread! The nuts and spices helped to balance out the sweetness of the dates.
