CANTALOUPE BREAD

I like this toasted with butter or cream cheese. Yum! If you can't find melons in season, you can puree melon balls from your grocers freezer section. This freezes well. Prep and cook time is approximate.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe cantaloupe: Look for cantaloupes with a deep orange color and a slightly sweet smell. Avoid cantaloupes that have green or yellow spots, or that are bruised or have soft spots.
  • Use fresh nuts: Fresh nuts will give your bread a better flavor and texture. If you're using store-bought nuts, make sure they're unsalted and unroasted.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the bread at a high temperature: This will help the bread to rise and brown properly. Reduce the temperature after 15 minutes to prevent the bread from over-browning.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing: This will help the bread to hold its shape and prevent it from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Cantaloupe nut bread is a delicious and easy-to-make quick bread that's perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. It's also a great way to use up leftover cantaloupe. With its moist texture, sweet flavor, and crunchy nuts, cantaloupe nut bread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
