Baking Powder Bread

Enjoy these yummy Hoosier Persimmon Recipes for Pudding and Bread

One of the best things about growing up in Southern Indiana was the tiny persimmons that ripened in the late Summer, early Fall.  Never put a green persimmon in your mouth-yuk!  But ripe ones are oh so good!  And they make great puddings and breads.  Give these recipes a try!  The pudding was a prize winner at the annual Persimmon Festival years ago.  Don't even remember how I came up with the bread recipe as it was so many years ago.

HOOSIER PERSIMMON BREAD

3 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
2 cups persimmon pulp
2 eggs
1 tsp cinnamon
2 cups sugar
1 tsp salt
2 tsp soda
1/2 cup chopped nuts
1/2 cup raisins
1 tsp nutmeg
1 1/2 cup vegetable oil

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour two loaf pans; set aside.

Sift the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and soda into a bowl. Stir in the sugar. Stir the persimmon pulp into the mixture. Add the oil and mix well. Stir in the nuts and raisins. Pour into the prepared loaf pans. Bake at 350 degrees for about 55 minutes. The bread is done when a wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
