Anise-scented persimmon bread
Bread
This recipe is adapted from James Beard's persimmon bread recipe. I made it for the first time the night before Thanksgiving, as a little indulgence after a day of cooking. With so much cinnamon this and nutmeg that, the last thing I wanted was another pumpkin pie-spiced baked good. On a whim, I tossed some aniseed into the batter, and discovered that syrupy-sweet persimmon and licoricey anise go wonderfully together. Combine them in a moist, dense quickbread, and you have the perfect cold-weather treat.
