This bread was a hit for our family. I used frozen cherries in place of the fresh ones. It worked well although I made sure to drain them well first.
CHERRY BREAD
2 c. flour
1 c. sugar
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 c. shortening
1 egg, slightly beaten
1/2 c. orange juice
1 tbsp. grated orange peel
2 tbsp. warm water or cherry juice
1 c. halved tart cherries
Sift together flour, sugar, and baking powder. Cut in shortening. Stir in egg, orange juice, peel, and water. Fold in cherries. Pour into greased 8 x 4 x 3 inch loaf pans. Bake an hour at 350 degrees. Cool before slicing.
I used half whole wheat pastry and half all purpose flour. I also omitted the orange peel. This made a delicious and moist bread.
