Nut Crusted Grapefruit Bread
Ingredients:
1/2 cup margarine, softened
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg
grated peel from 1 Texas Orange
2-1/2 cups all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup Texas RED grapefruit, sectioned and diced
1/3 cup sour cream
3 tablespoons sliced almonds
Directions:
Beat margarine and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and Texas orange peel. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt and soda; stir into the margarine mixture alternately with the Texas grapefruit and sour cream, until flour is moistened. Sprinkle the almonds on the bottom and sides of a well-greased 9×5 inch loaf pan. Pour batter into the pan.
Bake in a 350 degree oven 60-65 minutes until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Serving: 10 slices
