Ingredients:

3 cups muscadines, skins removed and discarded

1 cup sugar

3 tablespoons lemon juice

1 ½ cups wheat flour

2 cups self-rising flour

2 tablespoons baking soda

3 tablespoons baking powder

1 ½ cups brown sugar

1 cup milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:  

Preheat oven to 375 degrees (F).

Rinse the muscadines well before removing the skins. Cook the peeled muscadines together in a medium saucepan with the sugar and lemon juice. Bring up to a boil over high heat and reduce the heat to low, simmering together for about five minutes or until the muscadines have broken down into a coarse pulp. Remove from the heat and strain to remove the seeds.

Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, combine the wheat flour, self-rising flour, baking soda, baking powder, and the brown sugar, until well-mixed. Form a well in the dry ingredients and add the milk, cooked muscadine pulp and vanilla. Stir to combine.

Pour the batter into two well-greased loaf pans and bake for 20 to 30 minutes or until the center springs back when touched. Serve with butter or cream cheese.
