BG in Indy, I missed your original request for the cherry bread, here is mine, I submitted some time last year. It really is good!

Cherry Bread
3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
1-1/2 cups all purpose flour
1-1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1-6oz jar Maraschino cherries, reserve 1/3 cup juice, chop the cherries
3/4 cup chopped pecans

Preheat oven to 350. Beat eggs and sugar till light and fluffy. In another bowl combine flour, salt, baking powder. Gradually add to the egg mixture along with the reserved juice. Then mix in the cherries and the nuts. Put in a well greased 8" or 9" loaf pan and bake 45 to 50 min.

We love this hot in the morning with our coffee smothered in honey butter.
Enjoy, Billie in Fl
