Banana Raisin Bread

Submitted by LisaAD

"Not for kids It's true that most of the alcohol does bake off. Depends on how long the loaf is cooked. For this approximately 25% of the alcohol is retained. However, the taste may not be acquired yet by the little kiddies. I tend to have a heavy hand in the liquor department and the flavor is very apparant."
