Ooops! I forgot to take a picture of the finished product!!!
This week I wanted to use up an extra jar of cherries I had bought and used when I made the 1950's cupcakes. Since I love old fashioned 'grandma' recipes, this is one I used. Some readers will chuckle when they see the measurements; "butter size of an egg" and "fill on up with milk". I LOVE recipes like this!!! The "fill on up with milk" part of the recipe? I assumed was a 1 cup measurement, and I was right. The bread turned out delicious. Unfortunately I didn't remember to take a picture and it's now gone.
Cherry Nut Bread
1 c. brown sugar
Butter size of an egg
1 egg
2 t baking powder
1/2 t salt
1 small bottle of cherries
(Drain cherries and cut in half. Pour juice into a cup and fill on up with milk)
2 c flour
1/2 c walnuts
Mix altogether; put in 9x5 greased pan. Let stand 20 minutes. Bake 45 minutes at 350.
*NOTE: I found this bread needed to bake almost twice as long as called for. I baked mine 1 hour and 15 minutes. TEST YOURS. When the center test comes out clean you'll know it's done. If you remove it too early the center will be soupy.
