This Cheery Cherry Bread is a delightful twist on traditional quick breads, cooked entirely in your slow cooker for effortless convenience. The batter is rich and tender, featuring a generous amount of sweet maraschino cherries and crunchy coarsely chopped pecans that provide a wonderful textural contrast. The subtle sweetness of the cherry syrup blends beautifully with the warm spices of the flour and baking powder base. It’s an ideal treat for brunch, afternoon tea, or as a comforting dessert after a heavy meal. Because it cooks slowly on low heat, the bread remains incredibly moist and dense, unlike oven-baked versions that can sometimes dry out.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Drain the maraschino cherries, reserving exactly 1/3 cup of the syrup, then chop the cherries into small pieces.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  3. In a separate large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together vigorously until the mixture is thick, pale, and piles softly.
  4. Alternately add the dry flour mixture and the reserved cherry syrup to the egg mixture, mixing gently after each addition until just blended.
  5. Fold in the chopped cherries and coarsely chopped pecans until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  6. Grease and flour a bake pan that fits your crockpot or a 2-pound coffee can.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan or coffee can.
  8. Cover the pan with a lid; if using a coffee can, cover the top securely with 6 layers of paper towels and secure with a rubber band.
  9. Place the covered pan into the crockpot and cover with the crockpot lid.
  10. Cook on HIGH for 2 to 3 hours, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. Carefully remove the pan from the crockpot and let the bread cool for 10 minutes before unmolding and slicing.
