DOUBLE CHERRY QUICK BREAD
This is a doubly delightful cherry quick bread that is sure to delight! It uses canned cherry pie filling and the added bonus of orchard fresh sour cherries. Very moist, dense and delicious, this makes both wonderful loaf size breads and fantastic muffins. There is no need to frost, glaze or adorn this bread in any other manner...it's THAT good! Please note: you will NOT get the same results if you substitute oil for butter or applesauce for butter/oil. Your baking times will increase and the cherry flavour will be diminished. Also, cinnamon's are different. I use a Vietnamese cinnamon which is a much softer, less harsh cinnamon. Also, times are NOT for a large loaf pan. The baking time can exceed one hour if you choose to bake in a larger pan. This recipe is for small loaves or large muffins. Baking time will vary with muffin or loaf pan size!

Steps:
- NOTE: This makes a very, very dense batter. Do NOT make this with a hand mixer; mix it by hand so your motor does not burnt out!
- Also, the baked top of the loaves or muffins is very dark! It can "read" as being done but don't be fooled! Test doneness by inserting a wooden toothpick into the center of the muffin or loaf before removing from oven, and if it's clean of batter when removed, your bread/muffin is baked.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Grease giant muffin tins or small loaf pans (6" x 3"). Set aside.
- In a small bowl, blend together the beaten eggs, almond extract and melted (but cooled) butter. Set aside.
- In a large 4 quart capacity bowl, sift the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt and cinnamon to make sure it's thoroughly combined. Create a "well" in the center of the dry ingredients to add the egg mixture.
- With a sturdy wooden spoon handy, add egg mixture to well in dry ingredients and fold the dry and wet ingredients together until well incorporated. Batter is very, very stiff at this stage and puts up a fight!
- Add the canned cherry pie mix and fresh sour cherries to the batter. Put your back into it and fold the cherries into the batter until it is uniformly pink in colour. Congratulations! You're almost done!
- I use a plastic one cup measuring cup to scoop the batter out and push it into the greased loaf or muffin tins with my finger. DO NOT EXCEED THE 1/2 FULL MARK OR THEY WILL OVERFLOW in the oven!
- Bake at 350 degrees until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. For large muffins the time is 30 minutes. For 6" x 3" loaves, it's 40 minutes. For large loaves, it can be from 60 to 80 minutes and you risk burning the top! (I'm just saying).
- Remove from oven when done and cool baked goods in pan on wire cooling racks for 10 minutes. If well greased, cherry bread will flip right out of the pans! These breads/muffins really retain their heat so don't attempt to eat straight away, as tempting as it seems. Allow to cool an additional 30 minutes before enjoying this cherry quick bread. :)
- Yield from this recipe: 6 large muffins and 3 small loaf pans. This strange "yield" is because I didn't have enough loaf or muffin pans to make only one type of cherry bread or muffin. LOL.

Tips:
- Selecting Cherries: Choose plump, ripe, and fresh cherries with deep red color and intact stems. Avoid cherries with blemishes or bruises.
- Marinate Cherries: To enhance the flavor of the cherries, marinate them in a mixture of sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract for at least 30 minutes before using. This helps infuse the cherries with extra sweetness and a hint of citrus.
- Use Quality Ingredients: Make sure to use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor and texture. Use fresh butter, large eggs, and pure vanilla extract.
- Proper Measuring: Accurately measure the ingredients using standard measuring cups and spoons. Correct measurements ensure the proper balance of ingredients and the success of the recipe.
- Mixing Techniques: To achieve a smooth batter, whisk together the dry ingredients in a separate bowl before adding them to the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined to avoid overmixing, which can result in a tough texture.
- Baking Time and Temperature: Bake the quick bread at the specified temperature and for the recommended time. Use a toothpick inserted into the center to check for doneness. It should come out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
- Cooling and Storing: Allow the quick bread to cool completely in the pan before transferring it to a wire rack. This helps prevent it from falling apart. Store leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

The Double Cherry Quick Bread is a delectable treat that combines the sweetness of fresh cherries with a moist and flavorful bread. Whether you're enjoying it as a breakfast item, a midday snack, or a dessert, this quick bread is sure to satisfy your cravings.
