Cherry Pistachio Bread

Directions

1. In a large bowl, combine cake and pudding mixes. Combine the eggs, sour cream, oil, water and food coloring if desired; add to dry ingredients. Beat until blended (batter will be thick). Fold in cherries and pecans.
2. Combine sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle 1 tablespoon over the bottom and up the sides of two greased 8x4-in. loaf pans. Add batter; sprinkle with remaining cinnamon-sugar.
3. Bake at 350° for 40-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks.
