And if you have been following my blog for a while, you know that my all-time favorite ice cream is Ben and Jerry’s Cherry Garcia, which inspired my favorite Cherry Chocolate Chip Brownies.

DON’T LET THE BREAD BURN: Don’t let the top of your bread BURN! About halfway through baking this bread, make sure to check to see if the top of the bread is getting too brown if it is getting brown just place a piece of aluminum foil over the top of bread for the rest of the baking time to avoid burning the top of the bread.

CREAM CHEESE FROSTING: This sweet cherry bread is also great plain without the cream cheese frosting. But I do like that the cream cheese frosting complements the sweetness ofthe cherry bread making it a perfect combination. And theSPRINKLESmakes this sweet cherry bread just so much more FUN!

A very long time ago, I worked in a bakery as a teenager and I remember they made a version of this cherry bread around Christmas time that I really liked. I’ve never seen it made anywhere else.

It does make a great fruit bread for a Christmas brunch, fresh out of the oven or maybe even better, as your morning toast on Boxing Day. Candied mixed citrus peel or mixed glacé fruit can also be substituted for the glacé cherries in this recipe.

My bread is not rising😢 Just did a test with my yeast and it is good. Does the recipe have the correct flour to yeast ratio? 8 cups flour to 21/4 tsp yeast?

This bread is nostalgic...from days gone by. I want to try it in bread machine, but seems a lot of flour compared to yeast...have you tried it in a bread maker?

Homemade Cherry Bread Recipe

Barry, this reminds me of Czech Vanocka (vah-notch-kah). It is a braided yeast bread with almonds, candied cherries/citron & raisins & flavored with ground mace. It is not too sweet, a Christmas tradition & we love it for breakfast, especially with a little butter. Love all your recipes & I am treating myself to your cookbook for Christmas.Cherry Bread is an easy quick bread that you can serve as a snack cake or breakfast treat. It’s made with fresh cherries just like our Homemade Cherry Cake, but don’t worry – if you can’t find fresh, you can make this bread with dried cherries or even frozen cherries so you can make it all year round.

I love when I find fresh cherries at the store. The season is short (usually late spring to mid-summer), so it’s always special to buy a big batch and then use them to make all kinds of baked goods like quick bread, cakes, muffins, cherry crumb bars and this easy fresh cherry bread. Or why not try this Simple Yogurt Bread recipe if you have leftover yogurt in your fridge.

Well, that is if we can resist eating all of the cherries straight from the bag. It’s a good idea to hide them if you plan to bake with them. At our house, they will disappear in no time if they are left out.

Cherry Pineapple Nut Bread

If you’re not a big cherry fan like us though, this strawberry bread might be something you’d prefer making, unless citrus is your go-to flavor, then I suggest you try this Orange Bread!

If you can only make one thing with the cherries you find, it should be this bread. It’s easy to make with just a few ingredients, and the cherries are the star. Every bite has a sweet and tart flavor.

I love this bread with fresh fruit, but you can make it with dried or frozen cherries, too. That means you don’t have to wait for cherry season. You can make it whenever you want a soft, delicious sweet bread bursting with cherry flavor.

Sweet Red Cherry Bread Pudding

Fresh cherries: There are over 1000 varieties of cherries – so many I can’t name them all! The availability will depend on where you are from, so I suggest picking one that you enjoy eating. Some are sweeter, while others are more tart.

Frozen cherries: If you want to use frozen ones, thaw them first, drain the excess liquid, and pat them dry. You want them dry, so you don’t have extra liquid in your bread.

Dry cherries: Yes, you can even make dried cherry bread. Depending on how large they are, you might want to roughly chop them first. Also, you can add them straight to the batter, but if they are very chewy, I recommend soaking them first and then pat them dry. This will plump them up. You can do this in water or try a liqueur if you would like a boozy kick.

Chocolate & Cherry Yeast Bread {soft & Sweet}

To test them: Mix a teaspoon of baking powder with a bit of hot water, if it bubbles then it’s ready to be used. For the baking soda, mix one teaspoon with a few drops of lemon juice or vinegar. It should produce bubbles.

Once you have your cherries, it’s time to make the bread. You will need to grease and flour a loaf pan and pre-heat the oven.

Mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt with a whisk, add the chopped butter and mix to form a coarse crumbly mixture. Remove and set aside 3/4 of a cup of this mixture – you will use it for the crumble topping. In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, and vanilla.

Cherry Quick Bread

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix just until combined. It’s okay if the batter is a little lumpy.

Fold in the cherries and pour the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the topping over the top and bake the bread for about an hour.

Once the cherry bread is completely cool, wrap it tightly with plastic wrap,
