Having a hard time finding currents, but that's another story. Anyway, I was thinking it would be nice to ad a little icing to the top of it to give it a little extra punch. Can someone share a recipe for icing? Maybe I can use some of the pineapple juice? Also, I don't know anything about icing, so when do you put the icing on it? After it's caked and cooled?

Are you sure the bread needs a sweet glaze, though? It might be sweet enough without.

Wait to glaze the cakes/loaves until they have cooled.

You can apply it with a pastry brush while it's still warm; if you poke little holes in the top it'll even soak in a little more.

No recipe, sorry, but this was what my neighbors used to give at Christmas when we were young, Zucchini bread w/cream cheese frosting, and it was awesome...
