Yummy Cherry Bread



As you can see, there is neither rhyme nor reason for the order of the recipes I post. And... there never will be.  These just pop into my head as the most memorable recipes I have made and they are the ones I want to share the most with you folks.  Here is another yummy recipe that comesfrom my sister-in-law Mary.  It is really good! It's best to make two loaves at a time and freeze one for when you're craving something sweet. Oops.  Did I say that out loud? Enjoy! 

Cherry Bread



3/4 cup white sugar
1 egg, well beaten
1 small bottle of maraschino cherries
1/2 to 2/3 cup milk
2 cups all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
dash of salt
1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
butter, size of an egg, melted (or 1 tbsp oil)

Preheat oven to 350 F.

Beat egg with sugar well.  Drain cherries (save juice) and dust cherries with 1/4 cup flour.  To juice of cherries, add enough milk to make one cup.  Mix dry ingredients alternately with wet ingredients.  Add melted butter, nuts and cherries.  

Pour into a loaf pan and bake at 350 F for one hour or until a toothpick, poked in the middle, comes out clean.
