spiced cherry bread
This is a recipe I created from my mom's Spiced Zucchini Bread recipe. I love her z-bread, but I love cherries and she didn't have a cherry bread recipe, so I made one.
Blue Ribbon Recipe
A cherry quick bread that's full of fall spices. There's almost a gingerbread taste to it. Sweet, crunchy, dense, and filling, enjoy this as a dessert or a snack. Or, you can make loaves for gifts during the holiday season.
