KUMQUAT PECAN BREAD

I saw this recipe on the Kumquat Grower's website and decided to make it. My husband and I really enjoyed it. The kumquat fruit is extremely juicy and tasty, with a sweet outer peel and slightly tart inner flesh. But pureeing the peel and pulp together offers a sweet, fruity addition that produces a wonderful loaf that can be served as a side dish, quick breakfast (topped with marmalade) or as a snack. You can use any chopped nuts, but most copies of this recipe listed pecans as the preferred nut, and it's what I used and think it worked out well.

Tips:

Use fresh kumquats for the best flavor and texture. If you can't find fresh kumquats, you can use frozen or canned kumquats, but the flavor will not be as good.
To easily zest the kumquats, use a microplane grater.
If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
Be sure to toast the pecans before adding them to the bread. This will bring out their flavor and make them more crunchy.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the bread tough.
To test if the bread is done, insert a toothpick into the center of the loaf. If it comes out clean, the bread is done.
Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving.

Conclusion:

Kumquat pecan bread is a delicious and easy-to-make quick bread that is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert. It is moist and flavorful, with a tender crumb and a crunchy pecan topping. The kumquats add a unique citrusy flavor that complements the pecans perfectly. This bread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
