When I first moved to Austin over 20 years ago I was lucky enough to find the Junior League cookbooks. This one has been tried and true over and over again and loved by one and all. I have given this recipe out over a dozen times. Because of the pineapple the bread comes out moist. It is great for breakfast, dessert or anytime for a snack. Thank you to the person that put it in that cookbook! It is truly a family favorite.

    This is extremely dense and yummy and I've found it cooks at exactly 1 hour and 10 minutes just about every time I've made it.
