CHEERY CHERRY LOAF



Cheery Cherry Loaf image

You can serve this loaf year-round- but its cherries give it a pretty Christmasy look. In addition to being a lovely gift, it's something I often include in meals at home. I have also entered my loaf in fairs, where it's always a winner. I'm a widow (three grown daughters) who enjoys baking and crafting.
