Ingredients

3 Eggs
1 cup Vegetable Oil
2 cups Sugar
1 Tablespoon Vanilla Bean Paste Or Vanilla Extract
2 cups Pureed Green Tomatoes
3 cups All-purpose Flour
1/2 teaspoons Salt
1-1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
3 teaspoons Cinnamon Or Pumpkin Pie Spice

Directions

1

This recipe makes two loaves using a 9 x 4 bread pan.
2

Start by mixing the first four ingredients in a bowl. You can use a mixer if you have one. I just usually mix by hand; less mess and clean up. So you have a bowl with eggs, oil, sugar, and vanilla - make sure to blend it well. Next, incorporate the green tomato puree. It will be a wet mix. Set aside.
3

Then I measure out the dry ingredients - the flour, salt, baking powder, and spices - and begin to slowly mix the dry ingredients into my wet ingredient bowl. I did this in thirds, but I don't think there is a steadfast ruling on this. Then fold in the nuts and Craisins (if using).
4

Pour the batter into two greased (I use the handy spray method) loaf pans.
5

Bake the bread in a preheated oven of 360 degrees F for 50 minutes. Test with a wooden toothpick to ensure it is baked through. Remove from the oven and cool.
