Tropical Fruit Bread recipe

[Guest guest]

I'm eating this as I post. It's delicious. I didn't

have but 1/2 cup macadamia nuts so I mixed them with

1/2 cup pecans. I will be making this often.

Perfect texture. I picked this book up in Hawaii

about 20 yrs ago and haven't found a bad recipe in it

yet.

 

Tropical Fruit Bread

from: A Taste of Aloha by The Junior League of Hawaii

 

2 cups flour

1 tsp, baking soda

2 tsps. baking powder

1/2 tsp. salt

1 (8 1/4 oz.) can crushed pineapple, undrained

1 cup mashed banana

1/3 cup orange juice

1 tsp. orange zest (I added this)

1/2 cup butter or margarine (1 stick)

1 cup sugar

2 large eggs, beaten

1 to 2 cups chopped macadamia (pecans or walnuts work)

 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour one

9-inch loaf pan or one 8-inch loaf pan and 3 little

mini loaf pans.

In a small bowl mix the dry ingredients together and

set aside.

Combine pineapple, banana and orange juice on another

small bowl and set aside.

In a large bowl cream butter and sugar together, add

eggs and beat well. Add a small amount of the flour

mixture alternately with the fruit mixture, mixing

only enough to moisten the flour. Stir in the nuts

and pour batter into pan(s). Bake for 55 mins to 65

mins. Test with toothpick.

Cool on wire rack 10 mins. and remove from pan and

continue to cool on rack.

 

Oull the mini loaves out of the oven in about 25 mins

if using.
