BANANA ORANGE LOAF
This recipe is from 'Woman's Day' magazine, June 1977 issue. I've been making this for 39 years, and has truly become a family favourite. Today, as I share this from my handwritten copy, we will enjoy it as much as the first time I made this ...back in 1977 :) I hope y'all enjoy it as much as we do!

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees: Combine sugar and margarine (or butter). Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- 2. Add mashed bananas and orange juice. Mix well. Add combined dry ingredients, mixing until just moistened. Stir in (roasted) chopped nuts and orange zest and raisins.
- 3. Pour into a greased and floured 9x5 inch loaf pan. Bake for 1 hour and 15 min., or until a cake tester inserted in centre comes out clean.
- 4. Cool in pan for 5-10 minutes then remove from pan. While loaf is still HOT, cover loaf with a few tablespoons of fresh honey or marmalade or both. Smear over top (it will melt and be easy to spread)
- 5. A touch of fresh orange juice may be added to mix of honey and marmalade. Be sure to GLAZE HEAVY. Sprinkle with coarse white sugar.
- 6. Finish cooling on rack for approx. 2-3 hrs. Cover loosely while cooling. When completely cool, wrap well in plastic wrap and foil. May be stored in freezer up to 2 months. Store in fridge for 1-2 wks. Store on shelf for approx.2-3 days. (you will want to eat before the time is up :)
