Cherry Pistachio Bread

By: Rose Harman

"'A co-worker shared the recipe for these colorful loaves with me,' writes Rose Harman of Hays, Kansas. 'The red maraschino cherries and green pistachio pudding mix echo the colors of Christmas, so slices make a pretty addition to holiday trays. But their pleasant taste makes them appropriate any time of year.'"

Original Recipe Yield 32 servings

Ingredients

1 (18.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix
1 (3.4 ounce) package instant pistachio pudding mix
4 eggs
1 cup sour cream
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons water
4 drops green food coloring
3/4 cup maraschino cherries, halved
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

In a mixing bowl, combine cake and pudding mixes. Combine the eggs, sour cream, oil, water and food coloring if desired; add to dry ingredients. Beat until blended (batter will be thick). Fold in cherries and pecans.
Combine sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle 1 tablespoon over the bottom and up the sides of two greased 8-in. x 4-in. x 2-in. loaf pans. Add batter; sprinkle with remaining cinnamon-sugar. Bake at 350 degrees F for 40-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks.
