Homemade

Growing up, we had two cherry trees in our back yard. We couldn’t wait for that beautiful fruit to ripen. The pies that were made with those cherries were culinary masterpieces.

The biggest problem we had was that the birds didn’t wait as patiently as we did. My sister and I would climb up into those trees and hang tin pie plates from string onto the branches. When they fluttered in the breeze it would scare all but the bravest birds away.

Regardless, we knew that if we wanted some pie we’d have to pick those cherries as soon as they were ready. The best cherries were at the top of course but that didn’t deter my sister and I. Our reward was worth the climb.

In my humble opinion, you don’t have to worry about the variety of cherries used in baking. I’ve seen recipes using all kinds of varieties. I do have a few tips that may help you, however.

It doesn’t mean quick as in fast. Quick bread uses leavening agents other than yeast or eggs such as the baking soda and baking powder in this Cherry Quick Bread recipe.

That being said, cherry bread is faster than bread recipes requiring yeast as a leavening agent because there is no need to wait for it to rise. I love quick bread recipes!

Cherry Quick Bread

Tried it tonight and like others it did. Not Rise much and it’s a very heavy /thick batter. Used a bread loaf pan, used unsalted butter instead of coconut oil and left the lemon zest out but put in the lemon juice on the cherries Baked for 40 mins at 350 and it was done Taste was good but a bit dry

This is indeed a thick batter that doesn't rise much. Exchanging the coconut oil with butter and the other changes you made may have affected your outcome. I do appreciate you stopping by and hope your comment helps other readers.

I'm so sorry Murni! You're so correct, the flour is 1-3/4. I've corrected the recipe and appreciate you pointing this our for us!

Cherry Streusel Quick Bread

We enjoyed this bread for Mother’s Day brunch for the 4 of us. It was moist and satisfying, more like custard than bread in my opinion. I followed the recipe exactly but used gluten free flour instead. It didn’t rise very much and at most if eaten as a dessert, it would serve 8 people. We finished the whole thing at brunch today. Thank you for the recipe.

This recipe sounded good, but didn't turn out very good. Didn't hardly raise. The bread is only an inch high. I should have doubled the recipe to make one loaf. Also it is VERY crumbly and doesn't slice well.

What sized pan did you use? Several people have made this recipe and didn't have your experience? You may want to test your baking powder and baking soda to make sure they're still good.

Apple Bread Recipe {quick Bread With Fresh Apples And Cinnamon Glaze}

I'm currently in the biggest cherry growing region in Michigan while on vacation. Definitely picking up some beauties so I can make this when I return home.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.

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.

Cherry Pie Bread

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.

Brandied Cherry And Apple Spice Cake

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.
