Share recipe
Description
One of my son's favorite breads. You can ice top with a powdered sugar glaze if you wish.
Ingredients
- ½ cup margarine
- ¾ cup white sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 (10 ounce) jar maraschino cherries, drained and chopped
- 1 cup chopped pecans
Directions
- 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan.
- 2. In a large bowl, cream butter or margarine and sugar together. Add eggs, and continue mixing until light and fluffy. Add baking soda, salt, and vanilla; mix thoroughly. Alternately add buttermilk and flour to the creamed mixture, mixing only enough to hold ingredients together. Fold in cherries and nuts, mixing lightly. Turn batter into prepared pan.
- 3. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until bread tests done. Cool completely before slicing.
