3/4 c. sugar
1/3 c. vegetable oil
2 eggs
2 c. flour
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
2 c. pureed fresh peaches or 1 lg. can peaches, unsweetened, pureed
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 c. finely chopped pecans

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Mix sugar and shortening. Add eggs and mix thoroughly. Add sifted dry ingredients and mix well. Stir in pureed peaches, vanilla and nuts. Pour batter into 2 greased and floured 9 x 5 inch loaf pans. Bake for 55 minutes or until top is golden and springs back when touched with fingers. (If bread is browning too fast, cover loaf pan lightly with foil.) Cool for a few minutes on rack before removing from pan and then finish cooling on rack. These loaves of bread make nice gifts and also may be frozen.
