Mamey and Nut Tea Bread

Yesterday I posted a recipe using this wonderful tropical fruit in a delicious pie.  Today I will give you the recipe for a Mamey Tea Bread.  I love a little something sweet with my coffee or tea in the morning and this is the prefect compliment.  Mamey is so sweet that I was able to reduce the sugar in the recipe it came out just right.

Keep watching because I am still eyeballing the pumpkin roll made with Mamey idea I mentioned yesterday.  My family and friends just love that roll and so I think I will make it this weekend and pump it up with some pineapple tidbits...  Funny story -  I brought the pumpkin roll to a potluck once and early on a woman came up to me and asked if she could take whatever was leftover home.  Hmmm.  Sure I said.  Well quite frankly there was not a crumb left!  I have a funny feeling if I make it with the Mamey I might have to make 2...or 3!
