Honeydew Loaves ~ Addimu for Oshun

~ Something sweet for the one who brings joy to the world! Maferefun Oshun! ~
Ingredients:
-2 cups honeydew puree
-3 eggs
-2 tsp vanilla
-1 cup oil
-2 cups sugar
-3 cups flour
-1 tsp baking soda
-dash salt
-3/4 tsp baking powder
-optional glaze: some puree honeydew mixed with powdered sugar to desired consistency
Procedure:
Place some cut up honeydew in a blender and pulse till you have a total of 2 cups.
Add the remainder of the ingredients and pulse or blend to mix
Pour mixture into 2 greased and floured loaf pans ( I uses 2, 8 x 4 inch aluminum pans )
Bake 325F for an hour or till a toothpick in center tests done
You may have to tent with foil the last 10- 15 minutes of baking if tops are browning to fast
Cool completely in pans
drizzle a glaze if desired
Then wrap in foil and let mellow overnight before removing from the pans
Freeze if desired
Note: after you have the puree and if you don't want to use the blender, beat all ingredients together in a large bowl just until well mixed
P.S This recipe will make 2 loafs ~ So enough to place one for Oshun and another for her sister Yemaya.
