Banana bread

Oh so wise and talented bakers of BYC, I need some ideas.

I bought some lovely rectangular copper wire baskets to fill with my pretty little jars of jellies, and they do not fit as well as I had hoped. I have gaps. I need to fill the gaps.
I thought I give a loaf of home made bread to go with it anyway,... but The gaps make it look like I am being selfish with the goods.
I have the corners open -not large enough for another jar and too small for a box of crackers.
I need to make something long, narrow, and jelly oriented.

I usually solve that problem with lots of tissue paper, but this would be too obvious.

Why not roll up a couple of cloth napkins or some new kitchen towels????
When I make any kind of food type baskets I use those for fillers...

Joy Cookies!

Cookies are always good fillers. You could make some cookies with the same kinds of fruits you made the jam from.

I made the best Pumpkin Bread a couple of days ago. Just thought I'd tell.

I don't know how much space you're talking about, but what about some cute little spreaders? You know, they look like a mini knife with different ends on them. Like a hot pepper, a bunch of grapes, a slice of cheese, etc.

Excellent ideas! I knew you all would know what to do! The space is just a tad too small to get another 8oz jelly jar into.
I have two corners to fill. One for a towel with a spreader knife tied to it with a bow, and the opposite corner one for a clear cellophane bag of cookies. perfect!
I am heading out now, so you all are so timely!
Thank you! Thank you!

I have had three jars of marashino cherries out "drying" in a colander all week, so getting ready to make the nougat and get those chilled and ready to dip. I make a wonderful maple nut goody that I have been thinking about . . .plus sugar cookies, chocolate crackles, and Mountain Dew Cake that I bake in little bread pans to give all as gifts. Going to work on it all this week!!

Just made the English Muffin Bread. I had to try a piece. YUM! If it tastes near as good toasted as it did plain, then I will not be buying English muffins, or any other type of breakfast bread, bagels, etc, again.
AWESOME

BTW, did anybody see this recipe from KAF? I will have to try this one next!
