Banana Jalapeno Bread

@Quakertrucker That is some pot rack! And a really nice kitchen built for cooking. Great job. Before the cast iron skillets, what is the one with the 7 compartments for? I can almost smell cooking food. Thank you again!

It is a cast iron skillet for making corn pone or corn sticks. As I explained, the lighting aimed at the pot rack itself being poor, details don't show up.

The 7 slots are designed to make corn sticks shaped like ears of corn. The ends of the slots taper inward like ears of corn, and the slots also have individual indentations showing all of the individual kernals of corn.

I have a couple other similar cast iron items that can't be hung.

If you are at all tempted, check out a recipe for "Soup Beans". Be sure to put the search in quotes or you will get just recipes for bean soup. You might even check out a Southern site like "Southern Living" magazine for the recipe.

Obviously, you don't want to make the quantity that I am tonight - at least until you decide whether you like the dish.

By the way, the round cast iron skillet with the eight wedges is to make eight individual wedge-shaped slabs if cornbread.

We worship cornbread in the South. I bet some Southern
Baptist or Pentecostal churches probably use it for Communion!

Best wishes and good luck!

@Quakertrucker I used to read Southern Living when I lived in Texas. Thanks for all the interesting info. Take care.

Obviously, that is your choice. I never had it before, and just tried my first piece.

It has a sweet taste from the bananas, but a bit of a kick from the jalapeños. I like jalapeños and the recipe said it had a very mild bite, so I doubled the peppers.

I think now that it had a nice piquancy - it is definitely not hot.

I made five loafs, so I am going to freeze four and might finish the smallest loaf before bed.
