I found this recipe in Great Good Food by Julee Rosso. I made this for the first time at Christmas 2005. Everyone loved it. It is rich, but tasty.

Time 1h20m

Yield 24 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups dried cherries
2 cups pitted dates, chopped
1 cup cream sherry
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2 cups walnuts, chopped
1 egg
2 egg whites

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300°F.
  • Lightly spray or wipe four 3x6x2 inch loaf pans with vegetable oil. (I used muffin cups which worked out great).
  • In a large bowl, combine cherries, dates, and 1/2 cup sherry; set aside for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • In a separate large bowl, mix flour, sugar, and baking powder. Add the nuts. Add the egg and egg whites. Mix well.
  • Stir the flour mixture into the fruit mixture. Place 1 cup of batter into each loaf pan.
  • Bake for 1 hour, or until golden brown.
  • Remove from oven and immediately pour the remaining sherry over the loaves.
  • Keep in a tin, well wrapped with plastic wrap, for up to two weeks.
