Delicious! Not being much of a raisin or cherry fan, I substituted a cup of chopped dried apricots and increased the chopped pecans. The second time I made it I used Splenda and it's just as good. I also baked in 3 tiny loaf pans so I changed the oven temp. to 325F and the time to 50 minutes. Thanks, truebrit!

After seeing the other reviews I decided to make two loaves the first time around.And so glad I did make two. I did mix them separetely. What a wonderful bread, very moist, not to sweet. I plan to have some on my holiday tray as well as have it set out for brunch. Excellent, a definite keeper. Thanks for this great recipe.
