This one came from an old school cook book. Really good bread. Great for bake sales and gifts. You can add Cool Whip for a dessert, or slice it for a really interesting sandwich.

Time 1h15m

Yield 2 loaf's

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons salt
3 cups sugar
2 eggs
2/3 cup orange juice
4 tablespoons vinegar
1/2 cup oil
1 1/2 cups mashed bananas
2 1/2 cups cranberries
2 cups nuts (your choice)

Steps:

  • In a bowl, sift the first 4 ingredients; set aside.
  • Mix the next 4 ingredients together in another bowl.
  • Fold flour mixture with orange juice mixture, then stir in bananas, cranberries and nuts.
  • Pour into 2 lightly greased loaf pans.
  • Bake at 350° for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • *Note: I haven't made this bread in quite awhile and for some reason my recipe doesn't have the bake time written down, so I'm going by the bake time on a banana bread and a cranberry bread.
  • I suggest checking at 30 minutes to be on the safe side.
