PECAN BREAD

I like to have this bread on hand most of the time. It is delicious for morning toast, adding only berry jams and jellies, and great as the base for French toast. Though the recipe looks long, it is actually very simple to make.

KUMQUAT PECAN BREAD

I saw this recipe on the Kumquat Grower's website and decided to make it. My husband and I really enjoyed it. The kumquat fruit is extremely juicy and tasty, with a sweet outer peel and slightly tart inner flesh. But pureeing the peel and pulp together offers a sweet, fruity addition that produces a wonderful loaf that can be served as a side dish, quick breakfast (topped with marmalade) or as a snack. You can use any chopped nuts, but most copies of this recipe listed pecans as the preferred nut, and it's what I used and think it worked out well.

Time 1h

Yield 1 loaf, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2/3 cup milk
2 beaten eggs
2 tablespoons oil
2 cups flour
3/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup pureed kumquat
3/4 cup chopped pecans

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°. Lightly grease an 8x5-inch loaf pan.
  • To puree kumquats: wash the kumquats and cut each one in half. Remove seeds. Place kumquat halves in food processor and process until pureed; set aside. (I actually finely chopped mine rather than pureeing them, and it worked out just fine.).
  • In a mixing bowl, combine milk, eggs and oil.
  • In another bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Add liquid mixture to the dry ingredients, and stir until moistened.
  • Fold in pureed kumquats and pecans.
  • Bake in a 350° oven for 50-60 minutes.
  • Cool and remove from pan.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Pecans: Select plump and fresh pecans with a dark, rich color for the best flavor and texture.
  • Toast the Pecans: Toasting the pecans before adding them to the bread batter enhances their flavor and aroma.
  • Use High-Quality Marmalade: The quality of the marmalade significantly impacts the bread's taste. Choose a citrusy, flavorful marmalade that you enjoy.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a dense, dry bread. Mix until just combined to maintain a light and fluffy texture.
  • Bake Until a Toothpick Comes Out Clean: Insert a toothpick into the center of the bread; if it comes out clean, the bread is done baking.

Conclusion:

Indulge in the delightful English Marmalade Pecan Bread, a culinary masterpiece that combines the vibrant flavors of citrus marmalade with the nutty richness of pecans. Whether served as a hearty breakfast, a sweet afternoon treat, or a thoughtful gift, this bread guarantees satisfaction with every bite. Its moist and fluffy texture, complemented by the tangy marmalade and crunchy pecans, creates an irresistible taste experience. Embrace the joy of baking and savor the exceptional flavors of this extraordinary bread.
