Cherry Bomb Quick Bread

Cherry Bomb Quick Bread RecipeA quick bread recipe based on the ingredients found in a cocktail?  You betcha!  It’s got to be good, right?  And it is!
Cherry Bomb Quick Bread RecipeCherry Bomb Quick Bread RecipeEarlier this summer I dog-eared a recipe for a Cherry Bomb Cocktail I happened upon in one of my favorite cooking magazines.  It sounded so good, fruity and refreshing.  A drink right up my alley.  There is a myriad of Cherry Bomb Cocktail recipes out there, and they differ widely.   But the particular version I had seen in the magazine was similar to two of my favorite cocktails, the Kentucky Mule and a Whiskey Sour – sub rum for bourbon.
Cherry Bomb Quick Bread RecipeThe other day I found myself with an abundance of cherries on my hands.  Scouring my recipes for a way to use them before they went bad, I had a stroke of genius.  I took the cherries, lime, and rum from the Cherry Bomb Cocktail recipe and spun them into a quick bread recipe.  It’s moist, and tangy, and sweet with cherry flavor.  And while the bread is still warm from the oven, it is drizzled with a boozy rum glaze.  What a ‘quick’ way to have my drink and eat it too. 😊  Now go grab yourself some cherries before they are gone for the season!

  1. How it mid August already? Keeping up will all the summer things is such a good thing! I’m finding cherries are still in season and the price has dropped from a month ago. Which makes this lush summer recipe even more appealing! I am craving a big fat slice to go with my afternoon coffee.
