Another great fruit quick bread. You usually don't see a lot of cherry flavored quick breads of muffins, so I was surprised when I saw this recipe. It uses maraschino cherries instead of fresh cherries, but that's because they're a lot sweeter. You also use a little bit of the liquid from the cherries, and a splash of orange juice for flavor. Before it went into the oven the batter was a bright pink, and I was sad to see it turn brown in the oven. The pecans in the loaf add a bit of texture and some great flavor. I think this is the first bread to use pecans instead of walnuts, and I'm okay with that. While this one wasn't as good as the loyalist bread, it's still a pretty solid quick bread.
