Instructions: I really liked this. It was both delicious and different. I try to save the name of each contributor (especially when the recipes seem original or in some way unique) and am sharing those Ive tried recently from names I dont see on the list anymore. I wouldnt post Mary Speros because shes here and active (thank goodness!) and reposts many of her wonderful recipes

(and all of Marys are keepers and I save everything she posts).

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Butter and flour two (8x4x2-inch) loaf pans.

Sift dry ingredients into medium-sized mixing bowl.

Using a fork, lightly stir in macadamia nuts.

In large mixing bowl, cream butter with brown sugar.

Add eggs; continue beating until mixture is smooth.

Stir in flour-nut mixture alternately with crushed pineapple

(including juice), beginning and ending with dry ingredients.

Stir with wooden spoon only until lumps are gone ... Be careful not to overmix.

Pour batter into prepared pans. Set aside.

In small bowl, combine granulated sugar with cinnamon. Sprinkle evenly over loaves.

Place pans in oven and bake until toothpick inserted in center of loaf comes out clean (50 - 60 minutes).

Leave loaves in pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto wire rack to cool.
