    Date Bread: Substitute packed brown sugar for sugar; decrease nuts to 1/2 cup. Stir in 1 cup chopped dates and 1 teaspoon grated orange peel after flour addition. Pocket of Streusel Bread: For filling, mix 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon and 1 tablespoon butter or margarine, melted.
