Dried Blueberry, Cranberry or Apricot Banana Nut Bread image

This recipe was found in Better Homes and Gardens Cook Book. I've used it for years, adjusting it to my specific tastes. I use either dried blueberries, or cranberries. I have only once used dried apricots, diced. It's fabulous either way, any way.

This bread was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think I would use less sugar next time.
