Any good cherry quick bread or bar cookie recipes?

I bought way more cherries that I can possibly eat before it goes bad, so I am looking for some kind of dessert recipe or breakfast bread recipe that I can use them up in. I don't really like pies or crumbles, but if you can suggest some recipes that are some kind of dough dotted with cherries that would be greatly appreciated. If you are familiar with the Hungarian recipe for ';Meggyes Pite'; and have something similar that would be perfect. Thank you.Any good cherry quick bread or bar cookie recipes?
This is actually based on a recipe for ';meggyes lep茅ny'; from Horv谩th Ilona's _Szak谩csk枚nyv_, translated into American quantities. I usually make it with morello (sour) cherries from a jar, but it should work perfectly well with sweet cherries.





2 sticks butter (unsalted)


4 eggs, separated


3/4 cup sugar, divided


1 1/2 cups flour


1 1/2 lbs cherries, pitted, or 1 jar morello cherries, drained





Preheat oven to 350 degrees.


Cream the butter with half the sugar, then add the egg yolks one at a time. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites with the remaining sugar until stiff and shiny, then fold them into the butter mixture. Add the flour and mix just until well blended. Spread the batter evenly into an oblong baking pan (10x13 inches or thereabouts, either nonstick or greased), and scatter or arrange the cherries on top. Bake about 40 minutes (check at 30 minutes), until golden. Can be served warm or cooled.





The original quantities are 20 dkg butter, 4 eggs, 15 dkg sugar, 20 dkg flour, and 80 dkg sour cherries, sweetened if necessary.Any good cherry quick bread or bar cookie recipes?
The only problem with this recipe is that the batter is so yummy, it seems a shame to bake it. :) Report Abuse
