Plum Nut Bread
A quick and delicious bread.
3 cups all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar
1 cup coarsely-chopped walnuts or pecans
1 1/3 cups coarsely-cut fresh, pitted prune-plums (use scissors)
1 egg, well-beaten
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup orange juice
1 tablespoon grated orange rind
3 tablespoons vegetable oil or shortening, melted and cooled
Oven: 350 degrees
Mix together flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Add nuts and plums. Add remaining ingredients and stir just to blend. Put in a greased 9x5x3 loaf pan and let stand 20 minutes.
Cover with another pan of the same size, lightly greased, or with a double thickness of foil, rounded over top. Bake 20 minutes. Remove pan or foil and bake another 50 minutes, or until done. Turn out on rack and cool thoroughly before slicing.
