CHEERY CHERRY LOAF
You can serve this loaf year-round- but its cherries give it a pretty Christmasy look. In addition to being a lovely gift, it's something I often include in meals at home. I have also entered my loaf in fairs, where it's always a winner. I'm a widow (three grown daughters) who enjoys baking and crafting.

CHEERY CHERRY LOAF
Very Christmassy red and green cherries dot this luscious loaf cake. The pecans add another texture and taste. Very "comfort food" tasting.
