Spiced Tea Bread with Pluots

Spiced Tea Bread with Pluots

Spiced Tea Bread with Pluots

It’s hard to let go of summer – the days of more flexible schedules, vacations, and farmers markets at their peak of glory. But by early September I am leaning into fall, dreaming of cooler days, while still relishing in summer produce like – PLUOTS. Pluot season starts in May but can stretch into October. My first pluot was from a southern California farmers market; it was love at first bite. The pluot looks similar to a plum; however it is a cross between a plum and an apricot. Actually a pluot is 70% plum and 30% apricot. The hybrid is the best of both, a juicy, sweet delicious fruit. I came across a recipe for a spiced tea bread with plums in “Eating Well” magazine. The recipe appealed to my seasonal calender that fall is coming and the urge to bake comfort foods like bread. But I still can’t get enough of all the late summer produce!  I tweaked the Eating Well recipe using pluots instead of plums, with a few other minor changes.

Tea breads, also known as quick breads because they require no yeast and rising time.  The tea bread is a vintage English cake that is easy to make, adaptable, and best of all, not too sweet. The spiced tea bread with pluots makes a slightly sweet breakfast treat, or the perfect accompaniment to an afternoon cup of tea, or even a simple dessert.

Sadly, I have not seen pluots at the farmers’ markets here in Georgia. I purchased pluots for my tea bread at Whole Foods, and they were from California. That said, pluots grow in USDA growing zones 6-9. I live in 7b and plan to plant a pluot tree this fall.

Yes, I continue to hold on to summer, but look forward to fall. It is not too late to enjoy pluot season and lean into the cooler days of fall by baking a spiced tea bread with pluots.
