CHERRY ALMOND BREAD (BREAD MACHINE)

Cherry Almond Bread (bread Machine) image

This bread has a fantastic nutty flavor. Biting into a dried cherry is like a little taste of heaven. It reminds me of the specialty breads I buy from a local breadmaker, Montana Mills... but a lot cheaper! I found this online, where it was posted by Tony van Roon. He also recommends trying it with canned cranberries, although I haven't done that myself because I like it just the way it is.
