I made this on X-Mas Eve for X-mas the next day. I cut back on the cranberries (I used fresh) by about a half of a cup and used about half the amount of walnuts called for. I like tart things and this was really good. For me though, I think the whole 2 cups of cranberries would have been fine. One person I served it to thought it was pretty tart. However, everyone else who tried it (6 people) seemed to like it just the way it was. I sprinkled course sugar on top and it made it very pretty. I would agree that it is more cake like than pie like.. Whatever, I liked it. I know I will make this again. Good AND Simple, (and pretty too). Can't get much better than that! Someone did mention that either adding blueberries or just making it with blueberries alone would be good too, I agree.

I made this for X-mas. Seven out of ten people liked it. My 6yo son thought he did, then changed his mind. My 14yo daughter doesn't really like apricots but I made her try it anyways, no go. My 9yo daughter had seconds.. The other 7 people were all 30+ years old and everyone of them with the exception of one (me) really enjoyed it. I am not really big on hot fruit drinks/teas though. I rate hot apple cider at about a half star on a 1-5 scale, this was an improvement at about a 2, but not something I would go out of my way to drink.. That said, I *would* make this again and maybe add a bit more lemon juice and sugar.. oh, I used fresh squeezed lemon juice and organic sugar.. Don't know if that made any difference or not..

This bread came out yummy.. I, like PIETZSCHE, used 4 bananas. I used 2 disposable foil pans size 8" x 3 7/8". I didn't fill them all the way and ended up with one a little bigger than the other.. The small one was perfectly cooked in the 60 minutes, the other took about 15-20 minutes longer. I used 1/2 tsp of pure vanilla extract which turned out ok. I also used sour cream in place of the sour milk.. My kids love this bread. It is the first time I have ever made banana bread and it was so easy I am sure I will be making it again. Thanks for sharing Jeannie!
