DRIED CHERRY OR CRANBERRY LOAF
I clipped this recipe from an old issue of Parade Magazine, and they adapted it from a recipe originally found in The Tea Pot Cookbook by Steffi Berne. Posted by request. Plan ahead - the cherries need to soak at least three hours or overnight. NOTE: If you prefer, you can use cherry or orange juice instead of using the liqueur.

Steps:
- Place cherries (or cranberries) in a container with a very tight fitting lid.
- Pour liqueur and hot water over the cherries, seal the lid tightly, and shake to coat cherries well with the liquid.
- Set aside 3 hours or overnight so cherries will absorb the liquid.
- Preheat oven to 350 F (or 325 F for a pan with a black surface).
- Grease a loaf pan and lightly dust with plain dry breadcrumbs, shaking out excess.
- Sift together the flour, baking powder, and the salt.
- In another bowl, cream the butter and the cream cheese until smooth.
- Add the sugars, and the finely grated lemon zest and beat until well combined and pale yellow.
- Beat in eggs, one at a time.
- Add the flour mixture, beating on low speed, just until the flour is combined.
- Stir in the cherries and any liquid still in the soaking container.
- Pour batter into the pan and smooth top with a rubber spatula.
- Bake in the center of the oven for 45-60 minutes- or until a toothpick insterted in the center tests clean, checking as early as 40 minutes into the baking time- if it is getting too brown, cover loosely with foil and continue baking until the toothpick tests done.
- Expect the top of the loaf to crack.
- Let cool in the pan 15 minutes, then remove from pan and set onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Wrap in plastic and let set overnight before slicing.
- For extra decadence, drizzle a little more liqueur over the crack before wrapping in plastic- don't pour too much or you'll soak the bread.

Tips:
- Use fresh or frozen cherries and cranberries. Fresh berries will give your shake a more intense flavor, but frozen berries will work just as well. If using frozen berries, be sure to thaw them before using.
- Add a little bit of sweetness. The natural sweetness of the berries will be enough for some people, but others may want to add a little bit of sugar, honey, or maple syrup to their shake.
- Use a good quality yogurt. The yogurt will add creaminess and thickness to your shake, so it's important to use a good quality yogurt that you enjoy the taste of.
- Add some ice. Ice will help to make your shake cold and refreshing. You can use crushed ice or ice cubes, depending on your preference.
- Blend until smooth. Use a blender or food processor to blend the ingredients until they are smooth and creamy. If you have a high-powered blender, you can also blend the ingredients until they are frozen for a thicker, slushier shake.
Conclusion:
Cherry cranberry shakes are a delicious and refreshing way to enjoy the flavors of summer. They are also a good source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. So next time you're looking for a healthy and tasty snack, give cherry cranberry shakes a try!
