    Homemade Peach Bread

    By Kevin Williams

    A peach truck makes its rounds in our area every spring and my parents are ardent customers.  This year was no different (nice to have some normalcy).    Usually, my parents give away a lot of the peaches but I think with the social distancing still firmly place, they had more leftover than usual.  You can only eat so many peaches, so what to do with the excess?  I had some good Amish recipes with peaches, so Mom asked me for the Amish peach bread recipe that I had.  The idea of "peach bread" just doesn't seem all that appealing to me, but my instincts are wrong. This is a DELICIOUS bread that everyone seems to enjoy.  I can describe it as resembling a loaf coffeecake.

    My parents just ate it plain (a testament to its inherent moist and flavorful feel), but Dad suggested it'd probably be good warmed up with some butter spread on it. SIGH, the recipe calls for walnuts, everyone likes to add a nutty twist to everything, but I'd be tempted to leave out the walnuts.  Twenty years ago, I'd be absolutely saying to dump the walnuts, they've gradually and grudgingly grown on me over the years.

    Peach bread is an amazing treat!

    Start with fresh peaches!

    pair the peaches with farm fresh eggs and other basics

    Stir until consistency is smooth

    Put into loaf pans and then into the oven

    delish!
