This cherry orange sweet bread was created because I had oranges that needed to be used up, but they weren’t the sweetest.
This bread is made in a bread maker so there isn’t a lot of prep time. Just dump it all in and let the machine go. I let mine cook a tad too long. Even with that slip up, it was still soft, rich and citrusy with a punch of sweet cherries. A little bit of vanilla icing on top and it is wonderful!
