Bourbon Persimmon Bread with Quince

Print Recipe

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
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease two bread loaf pans.
  • Mix all of the dry ingredients thoroughly in one large bowl.
  • 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.)
  • Add chopped quince; fold and pour into bread pans.
  • 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.
