Revvy's Jamaican Spiced Banana rum Bread

[Revvy]

I just get mine at kroger's. They're pretty standard mini loaf pans.

I think I went a little nuts this year, I used nearly an entire liter of spiced rum for 50 some breads.

The only thing better than rum cakes are heavily soaked rum cakes!!!

This will be the first time in over a decade I don't do this recipe. My 88 year old mom fell 5 weeks ago, broke her hip, had to have surgery, go into rehab, have it determined she couldn't live by herself anymore, have to go into assisted living, my sister and I had to evaluate a place over a weekend, select it, then spend a week packing my mom's old apartment and getting her stuff into the new place all over thanksgiving weekend.....which is when I usually bake the 60 loaves of this bread.

It's kinda sad. My nephew makes the banana wine that I use in this, and a couple years ago he stopped winemaking, and I was down to one bottle last year, so last Christmas I made a batch of the banana wine found on here.

I'm going to try this recipe soon!
Hope all is going well for your family, and that your mom is settling in to her new home.

I made this recipe for my fourth of july BBQ this year. Big hit. Can't wait to make it again. Sorry to hear about your family's struggles Revvy.

Thanks you two. Yeah, she's seems to be settling in OK. She's had activites, I think every day. I know 2 nights a week they play bingo. And she's got some sort of chair exercise class she goes to. And there's physical therapy. I know I've called a couple times and she hasn't been in her studio apartment, so I think she's adjusting.

This looks tasty! I have a bunch of bananas fighting my hops for room in the freezer this sound like just the thing.

Question: I don't see myself ever buying or making banana wine/liqueur. I just can't justify that for baking, I would never drink it, nor would my wife. Do you think it would be good with out? Its Christmas so I will of course be getting a couple bottles of Sailor Jerry's (I love this rum, in drinks or neat. Try it in a grog! Also good for soaking fruit cakes in rum! I think its already got some cherry and sweet orange notes to it as well)

You could always make a gallon just for this. The recipe is on here. And it's not a bad tasting wine, it's not a sickly sweet artificial tasting wine. It's like any non traditional wines on here, like a semi sweet white.

Of course you can skip it. I think it adds an extra dimension to it. But just spiced rum will be fine too.

In the oven now. Forever behind schedule... Oh well I don't have to give them out until the weekend.
