The Kitchen Table

While I still have it on my C&P thingie!

Ont Gal was asking what I meant for jungle bread, that I make, so thought I'd share it here.

Co-worker made me a loaf and shared her recipe. Really really good. Haven't made it in many years, guess I will, again soon. Easy to assemble!

Anyone wanna share your favorite fruit bread recipe, etc?

Jamaican Jungle Bread

1 1/2 cup flour, all-purpose

1 cup 3 minute brand quick oats

1/2 cup sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup flaked coconut

1/2 cup walnuts or almonds or pecans, chopped (toasted)

3 bananas, mashed

8 oz crushed pineapple

1/4 cup vegetable oil

2 eggs

Mix flour, oats, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, coconut and nuts in a large bowl. Mix bananas, pineapple, oil and eggs in a medium bowl. Add all to large bowl and stir, but not too much. Bake on a greased pan at 350 degrees for 50 minutes. For the glaze, mix 1/2 cup of confectioners sugar with 1 Tb of butter and add either 1/2 ts coconut or vanilla extract. Add 2 ts of milk. Pour this glaze over the bread. Makes one loaf.

Glenda,
That sounds so yummy!

Can you clarify the kind of pan. Is it a standard bread loaf pan?

Judy the standard loaf pan!
You can also bake in mini loaf pans, just cut down on the cooking time.

Hi Since you seem to live in zone 10 florida might make some general comments about temperate plants here. Since the most you can hope for here is a cool rest period some years ,you picked a tough family of plants to grow .lol Any plant that MUST have a cold dormant period suffers here for sure . Now you CAN grow temperates here but need entirely different management methods. I find that there are just too many tropical species that flourish here to fiddle with extreme dormancies. Note that Florida has at least 4 major zones with dozens of micro climes . Of the CP"s your best choices are NEPs they grow like weeds lol While Sarracenias grow wild in northern florida they languish here. When selecting species choose those that require no dormancy as well as those from low altitudes that can't handle the heat. Look for TROPICAL species . Now there are ways to grow anything here but I guarantee you it's a lot more work than you want to do!!! This hold true for all kinds of plants not only CP's Save the temps for when you have more experience with fighting the heat lol goodluck gary

Thanks to each of you for responding! I had a computer tech come to my house & he said that the new mouse I bought did need some software installation (altho the box said it did not). He did that for me & I was right back in business. He also went through my installations & deleted some old & unnecessary ones & my computer is faster now. $37.50 & worth every penny to me! Thnx again...

Awww Kat...it's ok...claustrophobia is real and there's nothing to be ashamed of...yes you may think it's silly considering all you've gone thru in the last year...but you're still my hero cause I could never have done what you have and just so you'll know who's making all the racket I'm sneaking into your house after while to see how you look in a mohawk!! You know you should never have told us this...now I'm gonna be callin you "MO" from now on out!! I hope you get it rescheduled soon...but we all know that you're gonna get that clean bill of health!!

Have any of you had to plant while there was still snow on the ground?

dig thru 2 feet or snow .... and open one small spot of bare earth ... presuming the ground is not frozen ... and just heel in the new plants.. bundled as they are ... if they have broken dormancy .... pot in bundles.. and keep in garage ... or in house if some severe freeze coming ... sooo.. it depends on our stock ... and your soil .. you have one option.. call the seller.. and ask them to delay delivery by a week or two ... and avoid it all ken

Undrained!

And it says to cool completely on rack before glazing.

I use that particular glaze on lots of breads, LOTS!

That sounds good! It's bitter cold here and this sounds so good I may make it tomorrow since I'm off.

Thank You Glenda!
I just got home, but like Kath, I think I will make this tomorrow, if I have the bananas.

I had to think a bit about that C&P too!
