Christmas Cherry Nut Bread image

This is so easy to make as you just put everything, except the cherries, in a bowl and mix it, adding the cherries last. It is so pretty and so good. It is nice with a cup of tea or for giving in a pretty little basket along with some tea. You could put a pretty tea cup in the basket, too. If you like fewer cherries, use the lesser amount; I like more so I use the whole jar.

Time 1h15m

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 1/2 cups flour
1 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup maraschino cherry juice
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup soft butter
2 eggs
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped walnuts
2/3-3/4 cup chopped maraschino cherry (about a 10-11 oz. jar)

Steps:

  • Dump everything but the cherries in a mixing bowl and beat well, scrape, and mix again.
  • Add the cherries and mix well.
  • Put into a greased bread pan.
  • 350 oven for 60-70 minutes still a tester comes out clean.
  • Remove from pan and let cool.
  • Store at least 8 hours before slicing.
  • Note: To substitute soured milk for buttermilk, add vinegar to the whole milk and let sit for 5 minutes before adding to the bowl. This is what I use usually.
