Dried Blueberry, Cranberry or Apricot Banana Nut Bread image

This recipe was found in Better Homes and Gardens Cook Book. I've used it for years, adjusting it to my specific tastes. I use either dried blueberries, or cranberries. I have only once used dried apricots, diced. It's fabulous either way, any way.

This recipe is a great way to use up overripe bananas. The bread is moist and flavorful, and the dried fruit adds a nice touch of sweetness.

Excellent recipe! I used fresh blueberries and cranberries instead of dried fruit and it was still delicious. The bread was moist and flavorful, and the nuts added a nice crunch.
