I froze those wonderful peaches I bought on my trip to the hill country a few weeks ago. When I thawed them out, I didn't realize how 'mushy' they would be. They still tasted wonderful and are just great to eat plain but I don't think they would have worked as well in a cobbler or a pie. So I just made some quick bread.PEACH QUICK BREAD
1-1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 stick butter, softened
2 eggs
2 cups fresh peaches pureed
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped pecans
In a bowl mix sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Add eggs, vanilla, and peaches. Mix well. Add together the dry ingredients and mix in with the wet mixture. Pour into a greased 9 inch loaf pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour. Check the middle to make sure it is done.

MMM, gimmie. Peach bread sounds so good. Did you throw some pecans in there? I'll have to go back and look.
Yay!
Emiline: Oh yeah, those nuts are in there!
I see you have your Foodbuzz button up :)
Carla: Yes, looks like a good group of people! Thanks for the referral.
I baked it today in a form or muffins (got 15 of them). Baking time decreeses to 25-30 minutes. I also threw in some cinnamon and nutmeg and used walnuts. Tastes good.
One of my friends sent me to your site for your peach bread. I think that I will visit more often! I grew up on grits and cold cereal. My grandpa's second wife made a cheesy grits and eggs casserole for breakfast one time that was really good too! Anyway, I love to bake, can, and smoke meat, so this is a good site for me to periodically check out!
