Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe cherries for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh cherries, you can use frozen or canned cherries, but be sure to drain and rinse them well before using.
  • To easily pit the cherries, use a cherry pitter. If you don't have a cherry pitter, you can use a knife to cut a small slit around the stem end of the cherry and then use your fingers to remove the pit.
  • For a more intense almond flavor, use almond extract in addition to the almond slices. You can also add a teaspoon of almond liqueur for an extra special treat.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • To test if your bread is done, insert a toothpick into the center of the loaf. If it comes out clean, the bread is done. If it comes out with wet batter attached, bake the bread for a few more minutes.

Conclusion:

Cherry almond bread is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. It's moist, flavorful, and packed with cherries and almonds. This bread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
