Description:
Moist spice bread made with ripe persimmons.

Ingredients:
5/6 C persimmon pulp
1 tsp baking soda
1 C brown sugar
1/4 C vegetable oil
2 eggs
3/4 tsp cinnmon
3/4 tsp ground cloves
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 C flour
Chopped almonds

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 175 deg. Grease and flour 9X12" baking pan.
2. Stir pulp and baking soda together and let it stand for 5 min to thicken it.
3. Cream eggs with sugar and oil. Add in spices and salt. Mix in pulp and flour alternately till well blended.
Pour into prepared pan and sprinkle generously with chopped almonds over the batter.
4. Bake for 1 hour in oven, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in pan for 10 min before removing to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Remarks
Soft on the exterior while moist in the center, should reduce temperature and bake for longer time. Sugar can be reduced to 3/4C as persimmons are sweet already. Can't really taste the persimmons though.
