Fresh peaches and peach nectar team up to make this amazing peach bread. The moist bread gets flavor from cinnamon and a splash of vanilla.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 peaches (about 3 cups diced)
  • 1/4 cup peach nectar or liqueur
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (12 1/2 ounces)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven and grease the pan. Heat the oven to 350°F and grease and flour a 9-by-5-by-3-inch loaf pan.
  2. Prep the peaches. Peel and dice the peaches; you should have about 3 cups of diced peaches. Put the diced peaches in a saucepan with the peach nectar or liqueur. Bring to a simmer and continue to cook for about 6 to 8 minutes, or until the peaches are tender. Remove the pan from the heat and add the vanilla extract; set aside.
  3. Make the batter. In a mixing bowl with an electric mixer, beat the softened butter and sugar until light and creamy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
    Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, soda, and cinnamon in another bowl; stir to blend. Stir the dry ingredients into the creamed mixture, alternating with the peach mixture. Stir just until blended; do not overmix. Spread the batter in the prepared loaf pan.
  4. Bake. Bake the peach bread for 55 to 65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean. Warm baked peach quick bread on a cooling rack.
  5. Cool and slice. Remove to a rack and let it cool for 10 minutes before turning it out onto the rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy!
