Ingredients




2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs, beaten
 cups mashed overripe bananas
1/2 cup Castries Peanut Rum
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup candied pecans (chopped coarsely into small pieces)

Preparation

1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan. 2 In a large bowl, combine flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt. 3 In a separate bowl, cream together butter and 3/4 cup brown sugar. 4 Stir in eggs, vanilla, rum, pecans and mashed bananas until well blended. 5 Stir banana mixture into flour mixture; stir just to moisten. 6 Pour batter into prepared loaf pan. 7 Sprinkle remaining brown sugar (and additional pecans if preferred) on top of mixture. 8 Bake in preheated oven for 60 to 65 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center of the loaf comes out clean. 9 Let bread cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack.
