Persimmon Bread

My neighbor Marilyn was gifted with a bag of persimmons which she gave to me. Another friend Alice said she had a wonderful recipe for Persimmon Bread so we shared the Persimmons. She agreed to share her recipe. Tomorrow I will trek up the street for a photo session. Thank you Alice for sharing!

Ingredients: 3 c. sugar ( I cut it down to 2 c.) 1 c. oil 4 eggs 2/3 c. water 2 c. persimmon pulp 3 1/2 c. flour 2 tsp baking soda 1 tsp salt 1 tsp cinnamon 1 tsp nutmeg 1 c. chopped nuts 1 c. pitted dates ***

Directions: Mix together well the sugar, oil and eggs. Sift in other ingredients and mix thoroughly.

Grease and flour four small loaf pans ( I used two larger ones). Fill each pan half full. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 1 hour. Let cool slightly before removing from pan. Note: To freeze, leave breads in pans and seal in a plastic freezer bag.
