Squiers Manor Bed and Breakfast Recipe

Cantaloupe Bread

Ingredients:

3 Eggs, Beaten
1 Cup Oil
2 Cups Sugar
3 t. Vanilla
2 Cups pureed Cantaloupe
3 Cups Flour
1 t. Salt
1 t. Soda
3/4 t. Baking Powder
2 t. Cinnamon
1/2 t. Ginger
1 Cup Chopped Nuts

Beat eggs until light. Add oil, sugar, and vanilla. Add the pureed cantaloupe. Blend in dry ingredients. Mix well. Bake at 325 degrees for 45-60 minutes until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes on cooling rack. Remove bread from pan and allow to cool completely before wrapping to store.

Note: This is a very moist bread similar to a pumpkin bread and a house specialty. It was developed by my mother, based on some other recipes. Dad raised cantaloupe and this was a way to use the excess melons they couldn’t eat. It can be made from frozen cantaloupe by allowing it to thaw slightly. I drain off the excess moisture and figure about 3 cups frozen pulp will equal 2 cups fresh pulp.
