Cantaloupe Nut Bread

By: Lorie McGuire

"'Slices of this unusual melon-flavored loaf are good plain, served with cantaloupe wedges or garnished with whipped cream for dessert,' relates Lorie McGuire from St. Paul, Kansas. 'While it looks like ordinary bread, its terrific taste sets it apart.'"

Original Recipe Yield 16 servings

Ingredients

1/3 cup shortening
2/3 cup sugar
1 egg
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup diced cantaloupe
1/2 cup chopped nuts

Directions

In a mixing bowl, cream shortening and sugar. Beat in egg. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with cantaloupe until blended (mixture will appear curdled). Fold in nuts.
Transfer to a greased 8-in. x 4-in. x 2-in. loaf pan. Bake at 350 degrees F for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack.
