¼ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
½ cup chopped walnuts
⅔ cup packed brown sugar
⅓ cup shortening
2 eggs, unbeaten
1 cup mashed bananas (the riper, the better)
Sift together the first four ingredients. Add nuts and set

well. Stir in mashed bananas, then
flour-nut mixture, beating just until smooth.
Pour into greased 9x5x3 loaf pan. Bake at 350º for one hour or until
center tests done. Turn out on rack to cool. Refrigerate if desired, serve with
butter. Makes one loaf.
