Delicious breakfast/snack bread that was a staple of Grandma Drine’s kitchen.
Cherry Nut Bread
Delicious bread that can be served for breakfast or as a dessert. Although it is called “Cherry Nut Bread,” Grandma Drine typically made a special version without nuts for the kids and grandkids. The “nutty” version was served to Grandpa Lowell (go figure!).

- Cut marischino cherries into small pieces.
- In a large bowl, beat together eggs, milk, vanilla, and cherry juice.
