I was to be in the Okanogan Valley this week enjoying all the fresh fruit. However because of the fires I decided not to go. So in place of a trip I purchased fresh peaches and ate them fresh and in different recipes. My company and I enjoyed this recipe and I hope you do too.

Peach Bread

1 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup oil

1 egg

2/3 cup buttermilk or

milk with 1 tsp. vinegar added

1 tsp. vanilla

2 1/4 cups flour

1 tsp. baking soda

1/2 tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. salt

1 tsp. cinnamon

1/2 tsp. cloves

1/4 cup wheat germ

2 cups diced peaches

1/2 cup chopped pecans

Combine sugar and oil. Beat in egg, milk and vanilla. Add the baking soda, powder, salt, spices and wheat germ to 2 cups of flour. Stir into the creamed mixture. Sprinkle the remaining 1/3 cup of flour over the peaches and fold into the batter along with the nuts. Pour into 2 small greased loaf pans. Bake at 350° for 40-45 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean.
