Every Christmas that I can remember, Mom would bake this banana bread so that we could deliver it to friends and neighbors. We would also sing to them. My favorite carol that comes to mind is "Away in a Manger" for three parts. I would sing the melody, my sister Michelle would sing the middle part and Mom would sing the low part. Music and baked goods--Mom's favorite treasures!
Cream:
2 c sugar
1 c shortening
Add:
5 large ripe bananas, mashed
4 eggs, beaten
In separate bowl combine:
4 c flour
2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp salt
Add flour mixture to batter. Mix well.
Pour into greased bread pans. Fill 2/3 full. (DO NOT OVERFILL.)
Place in a cool (not pre-heated) oven, bake at 325ºF for approximately 1 hour. (Note: Bread is done when you can test the center of the bread and the cake tester comes out clean.)
