Banana Bread

This has long been a favorite around our house. It is a great way to use your overripe bananas. It is also a great treat to send in care packages or to freeze for those times you need a quick treat to take to a neighbor. This recipe can be doubled or tripled so you will have plenty when you need it. Good luck!

1/2 C shortening
1 C sugar
2 eggs
3 ripe bananas
1/3 C walnuts
2 C flour
1 tsp soda
1/2 tsp salt

Mix together well. Pour batter into 1 large loaf pan or 3 small loaf pans. Make sure to spray your pans with non-stick spray. Bake @ 350 for 1 hour or until you can insert a toothpick in center of loaf and it comes out clean.
