2 cups chopped stone fruit (any combination of peaches, nectarines, cherries, plums, apricots you like)
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350F. Cream the butter and sugar until light. Add the eggs and vanilla and beat to combine. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add to the dough in three parts (the dough will be quite soft). Fold in the fruit. Using a spatula, transfer the dough to a buttered loaf pan. Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
