Spiced Plum Bread

I have moved on from apples to plums. So, after having a garbage bag full of plums, I needed something to do with them. So, Spiced Plum Bread was born...

Ingredients:
1 egg
1/2 cup raw honey
1/2 cup white sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 c all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1 c chopped plums (I left the skins on, some people peel them)
1 c chopped walnuts (pecans are good too)
1/2 c applesauce
1/4 c milk

Ingredients — Crumb Topping:
1/2 cup white sugar
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup butter, cubed [half a stick]

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan. Combine all ingredients and transfer batter to pan. Sprinkle with crumb topping. Bake for 50-60 minutes until toothpick comes out clean.

****I quadrupled the recipe and make 4 loaves at once. I used a huge pot to mix all the ingredients. The only problem was that 2 of my loaves baked in 60 minutes, the other ones really needed almost 70 minutes.
