Ingredients

For Cherry Almond Bread:

  • 2 - 10 oz. jars maraschino cherries
  • 3/4 c. sugar
  • 1/2 c. whole milk
  • 1/2 c. vegetable oil
  • 1 egg
  • 1 1/2 tsp. almond extract
  • 2 c. all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp. baking powder

For Cherry Glaze:

  • 3 c. powdered sugar
  • 4 tbsp. butter melted
  • 1/2 c. maraschino cherry juice
  • 1 tsp. almond extract

Instructions

For bread:

  • Drain the maraschino cherries very well, reserving the juice. Finely chop the cherries.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the sugar, milk, oil, egg, and almond extract.
  • In a large bowl, combine the flour and baking powder.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, and stir until just combined.
  • Fold in the chopped cherries.
  • Pour the batter into a well-greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 45-55 minutes, or until edges are golden brown, and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
  • Cool for 20 minutes, before removing bread to a wire rack to cool completely.

For glaze:

  • In a medium bowl, combine powdered sugar, butter, maraschino cherry juice, and almond extract, whisking until smooth.
  • Once the bread is cool, drizzle with glaze. Slice and serve!
