    Recipe Introduction

    Maraschino cherries, bananas and macadamia nuts are a perfect trio in this quick bread. Makes a great gift!

    List of Ingredients

    1 (10-ounce) jar maraschino cherries
    1/3 cup butter or margarine, softened
    2/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar
    2 eggs
    1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
    2 teaspoons baking powder
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1 cup mashed ripe bananas
    1/2 cup chopped macadamia nuts or walnuts

    Recipe

    Drain maraschino cherries, reserving 2 tablespoons juice. Coarsely chop cherries; set aside.
    Combine butter, brown sugar, eggs and reserved cherry juice in a large mixing bowl. Mix on medium speed with an electric mixer until ingredients are thoroughly combined.
    Combine flour, baking powder and salt; mix well.
    Add flour mixture and mashed bananas alternately, beginning and ending with flour mixture.
    Stir in drained cherries and nuts.
    Lightly spray a 9x5x3-inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.
    Spread batter evenly in pan.
    Bake in a preheated 350-degree oven 1 hour, or until golden brown and wooden pick inserted near center comes out clean.
    Remove from pan; let cool on wire rack.
    Wrap in plastic wrap or store in a tightly covered container.


    Makes 1 loaf, about 16 slices.
