1 6-ounce jar red maraschino cherries
2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
2/3 cup milk
1/3 cup butter or margarine, melted

Drain red cherries, reserving liquid; add water, if needed, to liquid to equal 1/3 cup. Cut up cherries; set cherries and liquid aside. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. In a small bowl, lightly beat eggs. Add milk, butter and cherry liquid; stir into dry ingredients just until combined. Fold in red and green cherries, pecans and orange peel. Pour into a greased 9-in. x 5-in. x 3-in. loaf pan. Bake at 350° for 1 hour or until bread tests done.
