Fergie's Persimmon Spice Bread

I have been waiting a whole 2 weeks for these persimmons to ripen so I could make some bread!  Today is the day!!!!!  To be perfectly honest with you I am not fond of persimmons on their own but LOVE baking with them.  Here is a bread recipe that would make a wonderful gift this holiday season! 

5 Cups Unbleached Flour

2 1/2 Teaspoons Baking Powder

2 1/2 Teaspoons Baking Soda

1 Teaspoon Salt

1 Teaspoon Cinnamon

1 Teaspoon Garam Masala

1/4 Teaspoon Ground Cloves

1/4 Teaspoon Ground Ginger 

1 1/2 Cups Brown Sugar

1 Cup Oil

4 Eggs

2 Cups Persimmon Pulp

1 Tablespoon Vanilla 

1 Cups Coconut Milk 

To make the pulp remove the top.... 

Peel with a sharp pairing knife... 

You need 2 cups of pulp... I used 3 large persimmons... you may need more. 

In a food processor or blender, blend until smooth... 

In a large bowl combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt,  and all the spices... 

In a separate bowl combine the eggs, sugar, and vanilla... whisk until smooth and creamy... 

Add the persimmon puree and the coconut milk... 

Whisk until smooth... 

Combine the wet with the dry... 

Do not overmix!!!! 

Divide the batter into 2 loaves that have been sprayed with a good baking spray... 

Sprinkle the top of the loaves with some raw sugar... Bake at 350 for 50-60 minutes...
