1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 c. shortening
1 c. sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla extract
2 medium ripe bananas, mashed
1 c. fresh blueberries

In a bowl, combine the flour, baking soda and salt. In a large mixing bowl, cream the shortening and sugar. Add eggs and vanilla; mix well. Beat in bananas. Gradually add the dry ingredients, beating just until combined. Fold in blueberries. Pour into 3 greased 5 3/4 x 3 x 2 loaf pans.

Bake at 350°F for 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire rack.

Yield: 3 mini loaves.
