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.
