Tried this today for Christmas..I have to say it was very easy, and very good too! I made 3 small loaves, cooked them about 40 min. I’ll definitely make this again, maybe sprinkle chopped nuts on top.
Thanks for posting this, Mrs. Turkey!
P.S. Are you from Maine? Me too.

Yes I am from Maine…central Maine. In the “boonies” of Maine.
You should try the “eggnog bread” recipe i also have posted on this site. it is outstanding. I hand out both eggnog and cherry bread as gifts for friends & neighbors at holiday time.
