Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups white sugar
1 cup margarine, softened
4 eggs
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
1 (10 ounce) jar maraschino cherries, drained and juice reserved
2 (12 ounce) packages semisweet chocolate chips
2 (8 ounce) packages chopped pitted dates
1 cup flaked coconut
2 cups chopped pecans

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Lightly grease two 9x5 inch loaf pans.
  • In a large bowl, cream together the margarine and sugar until light and fluffy. Stir in the eggs one at a time, beating well with each addition.
  • In a separate bowl, sift together flour, salt and baking powder. In a third bowl, combine the buttermilk, baking soda, vanilla extract and maraschino cherry juice.
  • Stir the milk mixture and flour mixture alternately into the egg mixture until a soft batter is formed. Fold in cherries, chocolate chips, dates, coconut and pecans. Pour batter into prepared pans.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 90 to 120 minutes, until loaves are firm and a toothpick inserted into the center of each loaf comes out clean.

Overall, I thought this bread was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my bread didn't rise properly. It was still tasty, but it was a bit disappointing.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my bread didn't turn out right. It was too dense and dry.

This bread is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar in the glaze next time.

I'm not a big fan of orange flavor, but I still enjoyed this bread. The cinnamon flavor is strong enough to balance out the orange.
