Cherry Nut Bread
What You’ll Need
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1-1/4 to 1-1/2 cups sugar (to taste)
1 tablespoon baking powder
7 tablespoons vegetable shortening
3 eggs
1 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons grated orange peel
1/4 cup cherry juice (from the canned cherries)
1 (1-pound) can tart cherries, well drained and coarsely chopped
1/2 cup chopped nuts
What to Do
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, and baking powder. Cut in shortening. Stir in eggs, orange juice, orange peel, and cherry juice. Fold in cherries and nuts. Pour into 2 greased and floured 8- x 4-inch loaf pans.
Bake 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
Cool 10 minutes then remove from pan. Serve warm, or let cool on a wire rack.
Note
Why not enjoy one loaf now and freeze the other? Cherry Nut Bread freezes well.
