New Favorite Treat?
Discard all of that nasty red syrup in a standard maraschino cherry jar and fill with Luxardo. These make a deliciously decadent topping for a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream.

This is a lovely dense, barely sweet quick bread. We paired this with a cheese platter and a fresh fruit tray for a quick and easy brunch. The tart cranberry sauce adds a great bite of fresh tartness that works well against rich and creamy cheeses.
