PRUNE QUICK BREAD

Prune Quick Bread image

I bake this bread weekly and use a variety of fruits available in the junior baby food lines. The recipe came from a friend, who made it for our Christian Mothers' Club. When I'm asked to bake for lunches, bake sales or other benefits, I usually make this bread. -Shirley Kmiotek, Northbridge, Massachusetts

QUICK PRUNE BREAD

This is from the Woman's Home Companion Cook Book, the 1944 edition. It was my grandmother's cookbook. I find it fascinating; it covers everything from wartime rationing to canning what you've grown in your Victory Garden.

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 egg, slightly beaten
1 cup sour milk or 1 cup buttermilk
1 cup prune, stewed and chopped
1/2 cup prune juice
2 tablespoons shortening or 2 tablespoons butter, melted and slightly cooled

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 F.
Sift flour; measure; add baking powder, soda, cinnamon, salt and sugar; sift again, add whole wheat flour and mix thoroughly.
Combine egg, sour milk or buttermilk, prunes, prune juice and melted shortening or butter; pour into flour mixture and stir just enough to moisten the dry ingredients.
Do not beat.
Turn into a greased loaf pan (about 9-1/2"x5-1/2") and bake for about an hour, until a knife comes out clean when inserted in the middle.
*Note on stewing prunes: Wash prunes and place in a saucepan with several lemon or orange slices; cover with cold water.
Bring to a boil and boil briskly for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
Sweeten to taste by adding up to 1/4 cup of sugar for every 1 cup of prunes in the last 5 minutes of cooking.
