      What kind of taste does this have, sweet, strong, fruitcakish, or even kind of like banana nut bread but a cherry taste instead? Thanks, Crystal

      Actually, I haven’t made this yet. I found it while looking for recipes to make at Christmas, so I thought I’d share them with the group. Sorry.

      rtebalt, When I was growing up, when we made certain breads or fruitcakes for the holidays, we would bake these in cans. With the lenght of time on this recipe that’s what reminded me of this.
