This is so easy to make as you just put everything, except the cherries, in a bowl and mix it, adding the cherries last. It is so pretty and so good. It is nice with a cup of tea or for giving in a pretty little basket along with some tea. You could put a pretty tea cup in the basket, too. If you like fewer cherries, use the lesser amount; I like more so I use the whole jar. Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups flour |
1 cup buttermilk |
1/4 cup maraschino cherry juice |
1/2 cup white sugar |
1/2 cup packed brown sugar |
1/4 cup soft butter |
2 eggs |
3 teaspoons baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 cup chopped walnuts |
2/3-3/4 cup chopped maraschino cherry (about a 10-11 oz. jar) |
Directions:
1. Dump everything but the cherries in a mixing bowl and beat well, scrape, and mix again.
2. Add the cherries and mix well.
3. Put into a greased bread pan.
4. 350 oven for 60-70 minutes still a tester comes out clean.
5. Remove from pan and let cool.
6. Store at least 8 hours before slicing.
7. Note: To substitute soured milk for buttermilk, add vinegar to the whole milk and let sit for 5 minutes before adding to the bowl. This is what I use usually.
