Yummy missed out peel and put in walnuts instead. Delicious - 21 Apr 2016
Added half a teaspoon of all spice and half teaspoon of nutmeg, replaced the peel with dried cranberries and added a small handful of walnuts as i like their texture in buns. Delicious. Versatile recipe. Next time I'll add orange zest for fresh fragrance too - 27 Jun 2015
