Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Maraschino Cherry Nut Loaf.
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar, shortening, eggs, and salt. Beat with an electric mixer until the mixture is well combined and creamy.
Step 3
In a separate medium bowl, mix together the flour and baking powder. Gradually add this flour mixture to the shortening mixture in 2 or 3 batches, alternating with the reserved maraschino cherry juice. Mix well after each addition until the batter is smooth.
Step 4
Cut each maraschino cherry into four pieces and gently fold them into the batter along with the chopped pecans.
Step 5
Spoon the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 7
Once baked, allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, run a knife around the edges to loosen it and carefully invert the loaf onto a wire rack to cool completely.
