How to Make Green Tomato Bread
- Peel and core approximately 2 lbs of green tomatoes.
- Discard seeds from the peeled tomatoes.
- Cut the tomatoes into chunks and process in a blender or food processor until completely smooth and creamy. You should have approximately 2 cups of tomato pulp.
- In a small bowl, soak ½ cup raisins in ⅔ cup boiling water. Set aside to cool completely.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of shortening and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add 2 large eggs to the creamed mixture, then stir in 2 cups of the prepared tomato pulp and the plumped raisins (including the soaking water). Beat well to combine.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground cloves, and ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, one cup at a time, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Divide the batter evenly between two greased and floured 9x5 inch loaf pans.
- Bake in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. (Baking time may vary depending on your oven).
- Let the loaves cool in the pans for 10-15 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
