Cherry Almond Bread (bread Machine)
"This bread has a fantastic nutty flavor. Biting into a dried cherry is like a little taste of heaven. It reminds me of the specialty breads I buy from a local breadmaker, Montana Mills... but a lot cheaper! I found this online, where it was posted by Tony van Roon. He also recommends trying it with canned cranberries, although I haven't done that myself because I like it just the way it is."

This bread was pretty good, but not really what I had expected. It's not at all sweet, but does have a great nutty flavor. -
very easy to make, the machine does all the work. the cherries add a touch of tartness, the toasted almonds give it crunch. my cherries didn't mix well, but that could be my machine. i'm going to use this loaf for french toast.

I'm a real estate agent in the lovely city of Rochester, New York. That's not what I expected to do with my life. I got my bachelor's in psychology, my masters in literacy education, and I taught high school special education for two years. Then I discovered that helping people find the homes of their dreams was my real passion. I've been doing it for over two years now and still absolutely love my career.
Other than that, I have a very spoiled Border Collie mix named Bear that I adopted from a local shelter in spring '08. He's gorgeous and fun and brings me great joy. Now if only I could find a man like that... LOL!
