Hi there! Vegetable shortening, most commonly known by the brand "Crisco," is a solid fat that is made from vegetable oils. It doesn't have much of a taste and it's used in cooking and baking. You can find it near the other fats/oils in most grocery stores. Hope this helps!

As in any bread, muffin or cake recipe where fruit is used; after draining fruit I place it on a paper towel to absorb excess juices then dredge in flour to prevent fruit from sinking to the bottom. Substituted Maraschino cherries (one large jar), coarsely chopped and the cherry juice, and omitted the orange peel. I have a newer convection oven and the baking time was right on.

If you're using a convection oven, we recommend baking at 350 degrees F, and check the bread at 45 minutes using the toothpick test. Enjoy!

Delicious but I did have to bake them longer. I baked them an hour and 10 min. Everyone loved it.

Absolutely delicious. I had to bake the bread for an hour however, so I covered the edges of the loaves with foil to prevent burning. Using the Crisco in stick form makes it easy to get an exace measurement on the shortening. Definitely a keeper.
