Dried Blueberry, Cranberry or Apricot Banana Nut Bread Recipe #362294
This recipe was found in Better Homes and Gardens Cook Book. I've used it for years, adjusting it to my specific tastes. I use either dried blueberries, or cranberries. I have only once used dried apricots, diced. It's fabulous either way, any way.
