Talk about the house smelling delicious....wow this Cherry Vanilla Butter sure had a wonderful aroma. It is a very easy butter to make since you can process it in the crockpot. I did not measure my cherries but just filled my large crock a little over 1/2 way full. It was easy and fun to make this butter and the taste is amazing!...

I will be making them again & again. I didn't have any apple butter but remembered my cherry butter so I used it instead. It was a perfect match.
BOURBON-SOAKED CHERRY BREAD PUDDING WITH VANILLA GLAZE
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and position a rack in the center of the oven. Grease a 2-quart baking dish with butter and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the cubed bread, sugar, eggs, cinnamon, vanilla, salt, melted butter and milk; mix thoroughly, then transfer to the prepared baking dish. Pour in the bourbon, and gently fold in the cherries.

Tips:
- Choose the perfect cherries: Use fresh, ripe sour cherries for the best flavor. Avoid cherries that are bruised or have soft spots.
- Prepare the cherries: Wash and pit the cherries before using. You can use a cherry pitter to make this task easier.
- Use a good quality butter: The butter you use will make a big difference in the final product. Use unsalted butter so you can control the amount of salt in the recipe.
- Cook the cherries slowly: Cook the cherries over low heat until they are soft and have released their juices. This will help to concentrate the flavor of the cherries.
- Add the vanilla bean early: Adding the vanilla bean early in the cooking process will allow the flavors to meld together.
- Strain the butter: Once the butter is finished cooking, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any solids.
