For a richer flavor, toast the pecans lightly before chopping. You can also substitute walnuts for pecans if preferred. To ensure the cherries are evenly distributed, toss them with a tablespoon of flour before adding them to the batter. This bread freezes beautifully. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and then foil for best results.
