2. Prepare the batter: In a mixing bowl, cream together the shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

3. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, alternating with mashed bananas, until well combined.

4. Add nuts: Stir in the nuts until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

5. Fold in cranberry sauce: Gently fold in the whole berry cranberry sauce until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

6. Fill loaf pans: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pans, spreading it out evenly.

7. Bake: Place the pans in the preheated oven and bake for 60-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaves comes out clean.

8. Cool: Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes. Then, carefully remove the loaves from the pans and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

9. Slice and serve: Once cooled, slice the Cranberry-Banana Bread into thick slices and serve either plain or with a dollop of butter or cream cheese.

Enjoy your delightful Cranberry-Banana Bread, perfect for breakfast or as a tasty snack any time of day! 🎉🍞
