Just Peachy Bread

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and flour two 9x5 inch loaf pans.
2. Place peaches, peach juice and 6 tablespoons sugar in a blender; puree until smooth.
3. In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. In a large bowl, cream together the shortening and 1 1/2 cups sugar. Stir in the eggs one at a time, beating well with each addition, then stir in the vanilla. Blend this mixture into the flour mixture, alternately with the peach puree; stir just to combine. Fold in the nuts. Pour batter into prepared pans.
4. Bake at 325 degrees for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a loaf comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes in pans; turn out on rack and let cool completely.

"Rather than using canned peaches, I pureed two large, fresh peaches (about 20 ounces) and added this to the batter. It worked perfectly...." See more"

"Unfortunately, this bread was a flop. The batter tasted good, but was way too runny, more so even than cake batter. It looks like the recipe calls for too little flour, which is a shame. I would ha..." See moreve liked it to work out and it was a waste of good peaches."
