HOLIDAY BANANA BREAD



Holiday Banana Bread image

Banana bread that's crisp on the top, moist in the middle, and with a special Yuletide twist. This recipe makes 3 loaves, so use a big bowl when you're mixing these ingredients. Also, pardon the metric, but it's cleaner this way. For those who don't use metric: 325 mg sugar = 1 5/8 cups + 1/4 teaspoon 210 mL liqueur = 1/2 cup + 1/3 cup + 2 1/2 teaspoons 115 mL syrup = 1/3 cup + 1/8 cup + 1 teaspoon These eliminate the need for additional liquid in the recipe. You may add chopped walnuts or chocolate chips if you wish, but I don't think they're necessary.

HOLIDAY BANANA BREAD

This ever-popular tea bread is made Christmas-pretty with the addition of colorful candied fruits. This bread may look like a fruit cake but the taste is pure banana-delicious! I like to use candied red and green cherries and yellow candied pineapple, which I coarsely chop, in this bread for the prettiest look.
