Fresh, summery flavors come forward in this easy-to-make dish.

This quick-bread recipe appears at most Recker family gatherings, and it does not last long. Its delicious sweetness and dense texture make it irresistible.

Now that the cat’s out of the bag, she suggests you follow the recipe, slather it with room-temperature butter from a local farm, and enjoy every bite.
