I found this recipe in the travel feature of the Jan. 28, 2013 edition of Woman's World magazine. The recipe comes from the Beau Rive Hotel in Roseau, Dominica. I didn't have glace cherries, so substituted with maraschino cherries. It makes a delicious, moist and flavorful loaf. If you like banana loaf, try this one, you will not be disappointed.
Ingredients:
3/4 cup golden raisin
1/3 cup rum
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
5 very ripe bananas, mashed
1 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
8 glace cherries or 8 maraschino cherries
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease 9 x 5 loaf pan. In a small pot, mix raisins & rum; over medium heat, bring to a boil. Cook until most of the rum has been absorbed, then remove from heat and cool. In a large bowl, mix flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; set aside. In another bowl, beat bananas, brown sugar, butter and vanilla until the sugar has dissolved. Stir into flour mixture until blended. Stir in cherries and rum/raisin mixture. Bake 1-1/4 hours or until pick inserted in center comes out clean.
