Polynesian nut bread

1 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
½ cup Shortening
½ cup Butter
2 cups Sugar
4 Eggs, slightly beaten
6 Very ripe bananas
3 cups Flour
2 teaspoons Baking soda
½ teaspoon Salt
1 cup Pecans, chopped
⅔ cup Raisins
⅓ cup Maraschino cherries

Directions

Cream shortening, butter and sugar. Add beaten eggs and bananas in chunks.

Beat until bananas are broken and disappear into mixture. Dredge nuts and raisins in a little flour and set aside. Sift together flour, soda, and salt. Stir into banana mixture; blend in nuts and fruits.

Pour into 2 large or 4 small loaf pans. Bake at 350 degree oven for 1 hour or until center springs back to touch.

Let stand 10 minutes. Turn out on wire rack to cool.

NOTES : I like to use 3 or 4 bananas and a can of drained crushed pineapple. Great served with a spread of equal parts of cream cheese and crushed pineapple.
