How To Make pawpaw bread

  • Step 1
    Cream shortening, add sugar gradually, and beat until fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in pawpaw puree. Sift together remaining dry ingredients and add in four portions, beating smooth each time. Stir in nuts and raisins.
  • Step 2
    Pour batter into a greased, floured loaf pan (8x4x3-inches) and bake in a moderate oven (350 degrees) for about 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the loaf comes out clean. Cool on rack before slicing. Serve slices buttered or with cream cheese.
  • Step 3
    NOTE: To make puree, peel ripe pawpaws and place chunks in blender or food processor and process until smooth.
