Zuke Pecan Bread image

I found this great Zuke Bread recipe in the Rocky Mountain News, but, it originated in The Uncommon Gourmet Cookbook by Ellen Helman. I've made it many times over the years and have always had good luck with it. I also like to make muffins out of this batter as well. Fill them about 2/3 full and bake about 25 minutes at 350 degrees. Bread or muffins freeze really well. I cut down the prep time by grating and freezing 3 cups of Zuke's in freezer bags and defrosting as I need them.
