I cut this in half, only used a half cup of sugar and used a whole large can of pineapple, drained, and a jar of marachino cherries, drained. I can't imagine using only half of an 8 oz. jar of pineapple as when it's drained, it's only about a 1/4 c. of pineapple. And I must have really small cans of marachino cherries. Mine had about 20 VERY small cherries. I also used unsalted butter and pecans for the nuts. This is an interesting bread, very beautiful looking and bakes up perfectly. Quite like a fruitcake, only without the spices. I think IF I were to make this again, I might add cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice and pass it around at Christmas. This wasn't too expensive to make as I bought most everything at a discount grocery store. I agree that this would be good with white chocolate chips. This just wasn't our favorite quick bread recipe.
