This weekend I finally gave Marie's recipe for Fruity Banana Loaf a try from A Year from Oak Cottage. Such a pretty loaf of banana bread, with the jeweled bits of colorful fruits scattered about. It turned out very moist and just the right balance of sweetness. I followed the recipe nearly as written, except I had to leave out the nuts and the dried cherries became dried cranberries and currants, as I was unfortunately all out of both. I also left off the icing sugar drizzle. A really lovely tea loaf and one I will make again.
It looks like it turned out perfectly for you Heather! I just love this banana loaf. It feels like a real treat when I make it and eat it. Much better than plain old banana loaf don't you think? :-) Cranberries and currants sound fabulous!
