I developed this recipe in an effort to add pizzazz to my plain banana bread. I was pleased with the results, and so were my family and friends! —Janis Allnatt, Rochester, New York

Ingredients

2/3 cup shortening
1-1/4 cups sugar
4 large eggs
3-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 cups mashed ripe bananas (about 4 medium)
2 cans (8 ounces each) crushed pineapple, drained
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

In a large bowl, cream shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with bananas and pineapple. Fold in the chocolate chips, cherries and walnuts.
