Kimmi's Notes:

Filled with chopped pecans & maraschino cherries, this delightful sweet bread recipe is a must.

Topped with a cherry glaze for an extra burst of flavor.

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Cream together sugar & butter. Add eggs, vanilla 2 Tbsp cherry juice & beat on medium speed until light & fluffy.

In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking soda & salt. Add the pecans & the cherries to the dry mixture & toss to coat.

Alternate adding the dry mixture & the buttermilk to the creamed sugar mixture until combined.

Turn batter into a well greased 2 qt bundt pan.

Bake 55 - 60 minutes. Cool in pan on rack for 15 minutes, then remove from pan & cool completely.

For the drizzle mix confectioners' sugar with maraschino cherry juice to the consistency wanted. Drizzle over bread.

My grand-mother-in-law gave me about a metric ton of pecans after the harvest. They are all frozen up in my freezer waiting for me to experiment. I hate wasting the yummy little things. this recipe is a great idea. Thanks for sharing.

Oh I envy you, Maggie - and those pecans fresh off the tree- they are so much better than the store bought.

Thanks for the share of this recipe Kimmi.
