REC Lemon Nectarine Loaf (Quick Bread)

This is very tasty--and it is a good place to

use of fruit that is starting to go.

Lemon Nectarine Loaf

1 medium nectarine

2 1/4 cups sifted flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon mace

1/2 cup butter or margarine

3/4 cup sugar

1 teaspoon grated lemon peel

2 large eggs

3 tablespoon milk

1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Finely dice nectarine to measure 1 cup.

Resift flour with baking powder, salt and

mace. Cream butter, sugar and lemon peel

together. Beat in eggs one at a time. Add

nectarine and milk, then flour mixture,

mixing to a moderately soft dough. Stir in

walnuts. Turn into a greased 8x4-inch loaf

pan. Place below center of oven and bake at

350 degrees 60 to 65 minutes (mine was done

today around 50 minutes). Let stand 10

minutes then turn out onto wire rack to cool.

Makes 1 loaf.

 
elaine, if you used margarine and 3T lemon juice for the milk, you could serve it to your friend.
