Peach Bread

I'm learning as I live around the country, this isn't a well known bread.  I grew up in Sarasota, Florida.  When Georgia's peaches would come into season.  My family would load up into the car and head north to buy boxes of peaches.  My dad loved my mom's Czech style peach dumplings.  I always loved peach bread.

  

 Peach Bread

1/2 cup coconut oil(butter)

1/2cup raw sugar

2 eggs

1/2 cup sour cream

1 tsp vanilla

1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp baking soda

1 1/2 cup flour

1 cup diced peaches

Coconut milk

To start preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Next cream the sugar into the coconut oil.  Butter is more traditional and go ahead and use it if you want.  I am just supposed to cut my consumption of butter down.

 

Next add the rest of the ingredients.  It's fairly humid where I am but if the batter looks too thick. Add coconut milk or whatever milk you prefer to thin it out.  In some areas of the country, I have had to use up to a 1/2 cup.  Add it about a tablespoon at a time until the batter looks like this.

Grease a 9"×5" bread pan.  Bake it for 50 minutes.  Cool on a cooling rack for 10 minutes.  Remove from the pan and cool for at least another 10 minutes.

Frequently asked questions:

Can I use canned peaches?  Absolutely!

Do I need to peal the peaches?  Only if you want to torture yourself by boiling them for 30 seconds, dumping them into an ice bath and then trying to remove the skins.  I leave them on in my bread.

Were peaches really put in a can, by a man in a factory downtown?  No women put them in cans too now days.  The factories aren't usually downtown anymore as well.

Life is better than death, I believe, if only because it is less boring, and it has fresh peaches in it.
