Honeydew Loaves

If you enjoy something sweet and subtle flavored, you may enjoy this recipe. Having a lot of honeydew melon left I wanted to do something different. I did see a few recipes for heoneydew cake and other melon quickbreads but most included chopped nuts and spices such as cinnamon etc. Read more which I feel take away from the subltle flavor of the melon I just altered a recipe by omitting the nuts, spices and also prepared it in my power blender since the mixture will be thin and loose when prepared with the hand held eletric beater anyway. The loaves are extremely moist and they are best removed from the loaf pans when they are completly cold. They slice and taste best the following day. Nice to serve along with a fruit salad or with a cup of tea. Hope you enjoy this! See less
