How To Make cherry almond bread

• Step 1
  Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease and flour (or line with parchment paper) two 8x4-inch loaf pans, set aside.
• Step 2
  In a large mixing bowl, cream sugar and oil; add eggs, vanilla and almond extract and beat well. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour and baking powder.
• Step 3
  Measure out ½ cup of the reserved maraschino cherry juice. If juice does not equal ½ cup, add enough water to make up the rest. Add the flour mixture and cherry juice to the sugar mixture until it is just combined. Stir in the chopped cherries.
• Step 4
  Divide batter evenly between both loaf pans. Bake for about 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
• Step 5
  Remove from oven and cool in pan for 10 minutes, then place on a wire rack and cool completely. Dust tops of bread with powdered sugar, if desired, slice and serve.
