Apple Cranberry Bread

This recipe is great when you have leftover cranberries from the Holidays. It is a tasty bread that is not loaded with sugar. Make sure that you cut your cranberries in half that way they mix with the batter and are not quite so tart. Of course this time I was in a hurry and forgot!! Enjoy~

Sour Cream Banana Bread

3/4 c. butter softened

3 cups white sugar

3 eggs

6 ripe bananas

2 c. sour cream

1 Tablespoon vanilla

1/2 teaspoon salt

3 teaspoons baking soda

4 1/2 c. flour

1 c. chopped walnuts (optional) 

Pre-heat oven to 300. Grease 3 large bread pans, if pans are small may need to use 4 pans. Cream butter and sugar together. Mix in eggs, mashed bananas, sour cream, and vanilla. Next, mix in salt, baking soda, and flour. Stir in nuts. Divide into prepared pans. Bake for 1 hour or until toothpick inserted comes out clean. I have found baking the bread at 300 is nice because it doesn't get so brown, but it seems to take longer than an hour for me.
