Tipsy Banana Bread

The original recipe was "jacked-up" banana bread. It had bourbon in it. We didn't have any Jack Daniels, so we used rum.  You can't taste the alcohol, but it seems to make it more moist--I figure it's not drunk--just a bit tipsy. I love cold banana bread with butter, but this is tasty enough to eat plain.

3 large (or 4 smaller) ripe bananas, mashed up. Frozen bananas work great because they are already mushy.
1/3 cup melted butter
1 cup brown sugar
1 beaten egg
1 tsp vanilla
1 tablespoon rum
1 tsp baking soda
Pinch of salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
Pinch of ground cloves
1 1/2 cup flour

Preheat the oven to 350. Mix butter and bananas in a big  mixing bowl. Mix in the sugar, egg, vanilla, rum, and spices. Add baking soda and salt. Lastly, mix in the flour. Pour the mixture into a greased loaf pan. Bake for about 50 minutes or until a fork comes out clean.
