This is the same recipe I use for making cranberry nut bread but I just bought some candied cherries and pineapple because they had a screaming deal on those items after Christmas. I considered making a fruitcake until I read how much work it is to make one. So I used the candied cherries in place of the cranberries and he loved it. It's an easy recipe and I'll be making it again!
