Ingredients
Bread
- 1/2 cup butter room temperature
- 1 cup evaporated sugar cane juice
- 4 eggs
- 2 1/4 cup unbleached flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1 cup dried cherries or 1 1/2 cup fresh or frozen
- 1 cup chopped pecans
Glaze
- 1 Tbsp evaporated sugar cane juice
- 1/2 Tbsp milk
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
Bread
- Cream the butter and sugar thoroughly.
- Add the eggs one at a time and beat well after each addition.
- Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl and mix well.
- Add the pecans and cherries and distribute evenly. Unless you’re using fresh or frozen cherries and you need to add them last.
- Add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture and combine well.
- Spoon batter into a buttered loaf pan and smooth the top.
- Bake at 325 F for an hour and 15 minutes. It’s done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the top is a golden brown.
Glaze
- Mix the glaze. I mix it up in a teacup, there’s not much to it.
- Brush on the top of the hot bread with a pastry brush.
