Now that I am growing fruit, what do I do with the overabundance of fruit?

Cook with it!

Lemon Apple Bread

1/4 cup butter or margarine

2/3 cup sugar

2 eggs, slightly beaten

2 cups flour

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp baking powder

3/4 tsp salt

2 cup coarsely shredded, peeled apples

4 tsp grated lemon peel

2/3 cup chopped nuts

Cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

Beat in eggs until blended.

Mix dry ingredients together and add to creamed mixture alternately with apple, blending well after each addition.

Stir lemon and nuts into above mixture. Turn into greased and floured loaf pan..

Bake at 350 degrees for 50 to 60 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Remove from pan to rack to cool completely.
