| A wonderful
taste of Paradise.... GREAT for gift giving, just bake in mini bread pans. 2 cups flour 1 tsp baking soda 2 tsps baking powder 1/2 tsp salt 1 (8 1/4 oz) can crushed pineapple, drained 1 cup mashed banana (about 3 bananas)* 1/3 cup orange juice (using one of the Dole 100% juice mixes is good, too...especially the orange, mango, peach)* 1/2 cup butter (you can half the amount of butter and add 1/4 cup applesauce to lower fat)* 1 cup sugar 2 eggs, beaten 1 1/2 - 2 cups chopped macadamia nuts (walnuts or pecans or no nuts at all work also)* *JMR additions Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 1 lb loaf pan *(or 3-4 mini loaf pans). Sift dry ingredients together and set aside. Combine pineapple, banana, and orange juice and set aside. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add eggs and beat well. Add a small amount of the flour mixture alternately with the fruit mixture, mixing only enough to moisten the flour. Stir in the nuts and pour batter into pan(s). Bake for 1 hr and 15 minutes *(check mini loaves after 35 minutes). JMR Note: This bread is much better after a day or two. |
