Banana Nut Bread
Mrs. Donald Garrison

2 cups sugar
1 cup shortening
4 eggs, well beaten
6 bananas, mashed
2 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons soda ( baking soda)
1/2 cup pecans, chopped
Cream sugar and shortening in large mixing bowl. Add eggs, bananas, and nutmeats. Sift together flour, salt and soda and add to mixture. Mix well, but do not over beat. Pour into 2 greased loaf bread pans and bake 50 to 60 minutes at 350 degrees. Let cool before slicing.


I did not use pecans ,used walnuts instead.
