Fruit Bread Recipe » Cherry Bread

With both cherries and cherry juice in this bread, the flavor is amazing.

Ingredients

• 3 eggs, beaten
• ½ cup vegetable shortening
• ½ cup milk
• ¼ cup cherry juice
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 ½ cups white sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 cup maraschino cherries

Cooking Directions

1. Preheat an oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
2. Whisk together the eggs, shortening, milk, cherry juice, and vanilla extract in a bowl until evenly blended; set aside. Stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a separate large bowl; make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Pour the cherry juice mixture into the well and stir just until combined. Fold in the cherries. Pour the batter into a loaf pan.
3. Bake in the preheated oven until golden and the top springs back when lightly pressed, about 1 hour. Allow to cool completely on a wire rack before cutting to serve.
