THE VERY BEST BANANA CRANBERRY BREAD



The Very Best Banana Cranberry Bread image

A basic banana bread recipe taken from a cookbook I pilfered from my Mom. I added the fresh cranberries which makes for a wonderful combination of sweet and tart. Adding chopped walnuts really completes this recipe. The final key is to use really, I mean really ripe bananas. I freeze them once they are almost black and thaw when ready to use. They make the bread moist and sweet.
