Ingredients:

• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup walnuts, chopped
• 1 egg
• 1 can (8 ounces) crushed pineapple, undrained
• 1 cup milk
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil

Instructions:

1. Preparation:

   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
   • Grease a loaf pan measuring 9 x 5 x 3 inches.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients:

   • In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
   • Stir in the chopped walnuts and cherries until evenly distributed.

3. Prepare Wet Ingredients:

   • In a separate medium-sized bowl, beat the egg well.
   • Stir in the crushed pineapple (with its syrup), milk, and vegetable oil until well combined.

4. Combine Ingredients:

   • Add the wet ingredients mixture to the dry ingredients mixture all at once.
   • Stir just until the ingredients are evenly moistened. Be careful not to overmix.

5. Bake:

   • Spoon the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading the top evenly.
   • Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.

6. Cool:

   • Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
   • Loosen around the edges with a knife, then carefully turn the bread out onto the wire rack to cool completely.

7. Storage:

   • Once cooled, wrap the loaf in plastic wrap.
   • For the best flavor, store the bread overnight to allow the flavors to mellow.
