Fresh cantaloupe, sweetly spiced with Ginger Powder and Pumpkin Pie Spice, is used to make this quick and easy bread. The fruit makes this a super moist, sweet bread and gives it a slight, refreshing cantaloupe flavor. It is a wonderful bread to serve with fresh fruit for a snack or dessert, and great way to use your extra summertime cantaloupe. Cantaloupe- it's not just for slicing anymore!
