Island Bread Recipe - so I came in 5th place
my husband thinks I'd love to have married food over him. he says this as we celebrated our anniversary this past weekend. 
This is very moist and a nice twist to the typical banana bread. Most likely, you have to actually go get some of these ingredients, but it's all worth it! I gave the extras as a gift to some church ladies b/c they're so colorful and unique. 
*3C flour * 3/4t salt * 1t baking soda * 2C sugar * 1t cinnamon * 1C chopped walnuts (OPTIONAL) * 3 eggs, beaten * 1C oil * 4 mashed very ripe bananas (i just keep the black ones no one ate b/c they're old in the freezer until I'm ready to use) * 8 oz can crushed pineapple, drained well (be sure to use 8 oz as it tends to not taste as good with too much more) * 2t vanilla * 1C sweetened coconut (flaked or shredded kind) * 1 jar or 3/4C of maraschino cherries diced (usually found next to ice cream cones/dessert toppings) grease 2 meatloaf pans at 350 for 60 min or 5 mini loaf pans at 350 for about 50 min or muffins, baked at 350 for 25 min. (i'd just check your toothpick b/c I'm not sure how different my oven is from everyone elses) In LARGE mixing bowl, throw in flour, salt, baking soda, sugar, cinnamon, walnuts, eggs oil, banana, pineapple, vanilla, coconut & cherries. Mix by hand only until fully mixed. Pour batter evenly into the prepared pans. Cool completely before taking out and be sure you greased well. |

| Hint: about bananas. Often our grocer will put out a large sack of ripe and bruised bananas at deep discount. I peel them and freeze them until I'm ready to make a large batch of banana bread. Then thaw and puree them. |
| My husband mentioned that to me, but I had never noticed them. Guess I have to look closer!! He gets upset when he sees a few extra bananas and I tell him "don't touch!" |
| Congratulations. You come up with the neatest recipes. I copied the GS cookies, but haven't tried them yet. |
| Congratulations Jo! The bread looks great and would
be a big hit in our house. 
Congratulations on your anniversary  |
Mrs J..congrats on your win  I always enjoy checking out your recipes and love the pics you take. Your family eats very well, I hope Mr J appreciates your talent. |
| That looks really yummy, Jo! Congrats on 5th place - I'd be pleased to place with 50 entries. |
| George, I never thought of freezing them, I always seem to have a few that need to go into the garbage, ( what a waste). NO MORE.
Mrs J congrats and I love all your food posts. Deana |
