Pawpaw & Black Walnut Bread
A marriage of two Appalachian titans. The earthiness of the walnuts cuts the fruit's intense sweetness.
- 1 cup pawpaw pulp
- 1/3 cup melted butter
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 2 egs
- 1 3/4 cups flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup chopped black walnuts
Cream the sugar and butter, then beat in your eggs and the pulp. Fold inthe flour and baking powder until just combined, then stir in the blackwalnuts. Pour into a loaf pan and bake at 350°F for about an hour. It’s dense,moist, and tastes like fall in the mountains.
