Georgia Peach Bread

1 1/2 cups Sucanat or Rapadura 
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 cup organic butter
1 tsp. aluminum free baking powder
2 free range or organic eggs 
1/4 tsp. sea salt
2 1/4 cups pureed peaches 
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour 
1 cup finely chopped pecans
1 tsp. cinnamon

Cream together the sugar and shortening, followed by the eggs, mixing thoroughly after each one.  Add the peach puree and the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly. Add the vanilla and chopped nuts, blending carefully until blended. Pour these into two greased and floured bread pans. Bake for 55 minutes to an hour in 325F oven. Allow the bread to cool for several minutes before removing from the pans, and then cool completely before slicing.
