1 1/2 cups sugar
3/4 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs, lightly beaten

3 cups flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 cups chopped pecans
1 cup chopped candied cherries
1/2 cup chopped candied pineapple
Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease two 8 x 4 inch loaf pans. In a large mixing bowl, beat the sugar and oil. Beat in the eggs and vanilla. Add the bananas and mix well. Combine the flour, salt, and baking soda. Add to the banana mixture just until blended. Fold in the pecans, cherries, and pineapple. Pour into the prepared loaf pans. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from the pans to wire racks to cool completely.
