ITALIAN FRESH PRUNE PLUM BREAD
When fresh prune plums are in season, you won’t find a better quick bread. You can freeze the second loaf.
1 cup butter, at room temperature
2 cups granulated sugar
4 eggs
1 tsp. grated orange rind
1 tsp. vanilla extract
3 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. cream of tartar
1/2 tsp. baking soda
3/4 cup sour cream
1 cup chopped hazelnuts or walnuts
3 cups diced blue Italian plums
Preheat the oven to 350 F.
Lightly grease two 9 x 5 inch loaf pans.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, and beat well after each addition. Add the orange rind and vanilla.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, salt, cinnamon, cream of tartar and baking soda. Add the dry ingredients and sour cream alternately to the creamed mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients.
Stir in the nuts and plums. Divide the batter between the two loaf pans.
Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the pans cool on a rack for 10 minutes, then turn the loaves out of the pans and cool completely on the rack. Makes 2 loaves.
