I’m all about dressing up simple desserts. And a quick glaze with some maraschino cherries can turn any dessert into a show-stopper. I love this quick bread for its flavor and texture.
While the recipe calls for dried sour cherries, don’t worry if you can’t find any. This recipe is highly adaptable, so use any dried fruit to your preference—to stay seasonal, use dried cranberries. Of course, I also went and added mini chocolate chips and ½ cup of silvered almonds—see what I mean about it being highly adaptable?
Now, who’s ready for the holidays? I have dessert down, Christmas meal down, now I’m just counting down the days—because to be a total cliché—it’s the most wonderful time of the year!
The adapted recipe is below (with the add-ins), but hit the link here to Clabber Girl’s site for the full recipe. Quick note: If you decide to use the add-ins, fold them into the batter at the end
