Ingredients: 1 3/4 cc unbleached flour
3/4 cc whole wheat flour
1 tblsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 lbs sweet butter
1/2 cc brown sugar
1/2 cc granulated sugar
2 eggs
zest of 1 orange
2 tblsp fresh orange juice
2 cups persimmon pulp (4-5 medium persimmons)
1/2 cc walnuts (optional)
mix then dry ingredients and set aside. In a seperate bowl beat the butter and sugars until creamy; mix in the eggs and the orange zest. Alternately fold in the dry ingredients and the persimmon pulp and orange juice (2 steps). Add the walnuts if desired. Bake in a well buttered 9 1/2 inch bread at 170 C for 1 1/2 hrs. Note: the bread will still be soft in the middle when done, and the middle may collaspe some. This is quite normal.
