After reading all the hoopla on the posts about this bread I just had to make it. My three year old and I made it together-so it is pretty eay to make. The loaves were done in about 55 minutes. The bread passed my daycare kids test. They loved it and asked for more. I actually found it more flavorful as it cooled down. Great recipe. Added to cookbook and will cook again.

I made this recipe following the directions exactly, with very good results. I can understand the temptation to add liquid as the dough is very thick, but remember that the cherries and coconut have moisture that will cook out during the baking process. I am not a big fan of maraschino cherries, but this is a loaf even I can enjoy. The bread is moist and very dense. A great addition to a holiday buffet. Thank you for sharing.

I made this the other day and hubby said that I can make this anytime! It was his favorite....even over my banana/chocolate chip bread! I followed the recipe to a 't' except I added an additional jar of cherries. The only problem I had was the cherries sinking to the bottom. I plan to per-fect that in the next batch, which will be in the next few days. I can't freeze a loaf, they don't last long enough! Thanks Theresa for posting this one!
