Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 10

2/3 c milk
2 large eggs, beaten
2 Tbsp oil
2 c all-purpose flour
3/4 c granulated sugar
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
3/4 c pureed kumquats (about 2 to 2 1/4 cups halved kumquats before pureeing)
3/4 c chopped pecans

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease an 8x5-inch loaf pan; set aside.
  • 2. 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.)
  • 3. In a mixing bowl, combine milk, eggs and oil.
  • 4. 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.
  • 5. Bake in a 350° oven for 50-60 minutes. Cool, then remove from pan. Excellent served with orange marmalade.
