Answer 1

This recipe was on a scrap of brown paper that I found going through my Grandmother's things after she died. I don't know where the recipe originated from. I make it every year during the holidays to give as gifts, and people actually expect it now! Happy Holidays!

ALOHA LOAF

1/2 cup margerine

1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 (8-ounce) can crushed pineapple

In another bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Stir into creamed mixture; mix well. Fold in pineapple, with juice, and coconut. Pour into prepared pan.
