I just made this recipe using maraschino cherries and cheesecake pudding. It turned out awesome. I made them in mini loaf pans to give as gifts for Christmas. Bake time was about 30 min. I just set the timer for 20 min and then reset every 2 min. until they were done.
That sounds delicious, Jane! thanks for sharing!
I’d love to try this is in those co cute mini Bundt pans.
I have not made this since the 70’s when I lived in Ohio. I came across the starter recipe and all I want to make is the original recipe. I have MSD 2 starters and I am waiting for the 10 day process to be over. Then Merry Christmas to my neighbors ?
I would like to make this for my dad and my nephew. I think they would both enjoy it.
I used almond emulsion & canned cherries and this was delicious. Really good recipe. I also substituted applesauce for the oil to save on the fats. It’s moist & very good. I recommend this one.
It was delicious but a bit too moist. If I make it again I’m going to use drained Maraschino’s instead of the cherry pie filling.
Looks good!!!
