California Cantaloupes – Cantaloupe Pecan Bread

I know this not a cookbook but this recipe was one of the best quick breads I have ever made. I used a Wisconsin cantaloupe from the West Bend farmer’s market. The bread was very moist and had a fresh flavor. I of course had to tweak the recipe. I removed the pumpkin pie spice (because I don’t have that spice) and replaced it with 1 teaspoon cinnamon and 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger. I also removed the chopped pecans. I added chopped fresh mint (~ 1/2 tablespoon) mixed with some sanding sugar and I sprinkled the mix on top of the bread before baking. I would add more mint next time I make this recipe. The final suggestion is turn the temperature up on the oven for the last 10-15 minutes of baking. Mine was not getting baked enough. I used 2 mini loaf pans.

This is a good website (https://californiacantaloupes.com/) to follow. They have giveaways and some wonderful recipes.
