CHERRY BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• Drain maraschino cherries, reserving 2 Tablespoons juice.
• Cut cherries into quarters.
• Combine flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
• Combine sugar, butter, eggs [or ONE mashed banana], and reserved cherry juice in large bowl. Beat with electric mixer at medium speed 3-4 minutes or until well mixed.
• Alternate between adding flour mixture and mashed bananas, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. If the mixture seems a bit too dry, you might want to try adding some water at the end. I suggest adding it a teaspoon or so at a time.
• Stir in drained cherries.
• Grease a loaf pan and spread batter evenly in pan.
• Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 1 hour or until brown.
• Remove from pan and let cool on wire rack. To store, wrap in plastic wrap or foil and keep in a cool, dry place.

BEST-EVER BANANA BREAD (HONESTLY!)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Cream butter and sugar; mash bananas, beat 2 eggs and add to the bananas with vanilla and buttermilk; mix well and add to creamed butter and sugar; sift together flour, soda and salt; add to banana mixture, beat well; pour into 2 greased and floured 9x5x3-inch loaf pans; bake 45 to 50 minutes (I find this bread needs over an hour) or until bread pulls away from sides of pan; add topping.
• To prepare Topping: Melt butter in saucepan; add sugar and milk; cook until syrupy (like honey); remove from heat and add chopped pecans; pour over bread spreading to all the corners and place under broiler until bubbly and brown.
• Watch closely (this takes around 1 minute- maybe even less!).
