⅔ cup orange juice
2 tsp. orange zest
2 cups grated zucchini
3¼ cups flour

2½ teaspoons cinnamon
½ teaspoon cloves
½ cup chopped nuts (optional)

Beat eggs. Add sugar, oil, juice, zest, and zucchini. Mix well. Combine dry ingredients and add to zucchini mixture. Mix well. Place in two greased 8×4 loaf pans.
