Ingredients
1 egg, slightly beaten
1/2 cup mashed avocado
1/2 cup buttermilk or sour milk
1 cup chopped pecans
1 cup chopped candied cherries
1 cup chopped candied pineapple, optional
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Mix egg, avocado, buttermilk, pecans, cherries and pineapple. Sift together remaining ingredients into a large bowl. Pour avocado mixture into flour mixture. Mix only until flour is moistened. Do not overblend. Pour into a well-greased 9 x 13-inch pan or 3 small 4 x 7-inch loaf pans. Fill slightly more than 1/2 full. Bake 1 hour, or 45 minutes if using small pans. Cool on rack.
