A moist and flavorful quick bread I adapted from a recipe I found in the newspaper. Excellent served with cream cheese. You'll need: 6 (15 ounce) empty clean vegetable or fruit cans Ingredients:
6 ounces chopped dried cherries |
2 teaspoons baking soda |
2 cups boiling water |
1 cup splenda brown sugar blend |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 tablespoon molasses |
1/2 cup shortening |
2 eggs |
4 cups whole wheat pastry flour |
1 cup chopped walnuts |
1 cup golden raisin |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 325°F Grease the insides of cans well.
2. Combine chopped cherries and baking soda in a bowl. Pour in boiling water and let stand 5 minutes.
3. Combine sugar, shortening and eggs in a large bowl. Using a mixer, beat at medium-high speed until creamy. Add salt, molasses, the cherry mixture and flour and stir until well blended. Add nuts and raisins; mix well.
4. Fill cans about two-thirds full with batter. Bake about 1 hour, or until a wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in cans on a wire rack 15 minutes. Remove bread from can and place on wire rack to cook completely.
