    Recipe Introduction


    "This was one of those recipes that make up for eating all those "non-keepers". I KNOW I'll make this all year round, it's already a favorite, but it's also such a pretty bread for the holiday too. It's DELICIOUS and the mandarin oranges and cherries give it wonderful color."

    1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened

    1 cup sugar

    2 eggs

    1 teaspoon vanilla

    2 cups flour

    1/2 teaspoon salt

    1 cup ripe banana, mashed (about 2 medium)

    1 can (11 ounces) mandarin oranges, drained
