BANANA-CHERRY BREAD (and a terrifying tale)


By Coleen's Recipes (Visit website)



I found this recipe on http://www.mixingbowl.com/ and it is a keeper for sure. Super moist banana bread, mixed with maraschino cherries and pecans. Hubby loves this toasted with butter!!

3 large overripe bananas
2 teaspoons lemon juice
6 tablespoons unsalted butter (soft)
¾ cup white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
1½ cups self rising flour
4 tablespoons milk
1/3 cup chopped pecans (I used ½ cup)
½ cup chopped maraschino cherries
.
Preheat oven to 350F and lightly grease and flour a 9" x 5" loaf pan. Mash bananas and stir in lemon juice. Set aside.

Beat butter and sugar with electric mixer until creamy. Beat in banana mixture and vanilla extract. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each egg. Sift dry ingredients together and add to the banana mixture, alternately with milk. Mix only until incorporated. Fold in nuts and chopped cherries.

Pour batter into prepared loaf pan. Bake about one hour (my oven took 70 minutes) or until toothpick tests clean. Cool in pan for 15 minutes then turn out onto rack.
.
NOTE: Four family members (hubbies twin brother, his youngest brother, and two nephews) are competing in the recreation class of the Alaska Iron Dog snowmachine race which began last weekend. It is a 1,000 mile snowmachine race from Big Lake, Alaska to Nome, Alaska. They are about half way there as of this morning, but they have already had their share of unwelcome excitement along the way. One of the machines had engine trouble and had to be towed about a hundred miles, through a mountain pass, and John's youngest brother (and his machine) broke through the ice on the Kuskokwim River and was nearly sucked under the ice by the swift current (he was in the freezing water for 10 minutes!!). Fortunately, they were a tolerable distance from a cabin on the trail,
so they were able to take the brother back to the cabin and warm him up and dry out his clothes and machine. Had it not been for the close proximity of the cabin, it might have been a very different and tragic story. I'm sure the guys will have tall tales to tell when they get back. Hopefully, there will not be any more life threatening episodes!! Good luck teams 46 and 49!!!
