Bourbon Persimmon Bread with Quince

Ingredients

  • 3.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  • 1 cup butter, melted
  • 1/3 cup spiced apple cider
  • 1/2 cup bourbon
  • 2 cup persimmon flesh, pureed
  • 1/2-3/4 cup quince, poached (recipe above) and finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease two bread loaf pans.

  2. Mix all of the dry ingredients thoroughly in one large bowl.

  3. Mix wet ingredients in another bowl. Combine two bowls, mixing gently just until there are no lumps. (I used a hand mixer for 20 seconds to remove remaining lumps.)

  4. Add chopped quince; fold and pour into bread pans.

  5. Bake for 60 minutes; depending on your oven, this could be a little less or a little more. Check with cake tester before removing from oven. Cool thoroughly before cutting.
