Note

Storage: Wrap cooled bread tightly in plastic wrap or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze slices individually for up to 3 months.

Substitutions: You can substitute fresh peaches for canned, but pat them dry thoroughly to avoid excess moisture. Almond extract (1 tsp) can enhance the peach flavor.

Tip: If you prefer a less sweet loaf, reduce the brown sugar by 1/4 cup and use unsweetened applesauce in place of half the condensed milk.
