Chocolate Cherry Bread

American Spoon Sour Cherries in Syrup

Chocolate Cherry Bread from Ann Arbor

Bean to bar Nicaraguan chocolate from French Broad Chocolates in North Carolina, plus dozens of dried Michigan cherries, all baked into a dense, delicious loaf made with organic flour. If you give it a few minutes in the oven the chocolate chunks will begin melting. The aroma of cocoa will fill the air. You’ll take the loaf out, add a hint of sweet butter or, feeling generous, set a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.

American Spoon Fruit Perfect Sour Cherries

American Spoon Sour Cherries in Syrup from Petoskey

Michigan’s most famous fruit in a jar. Whole, pitted Michigan sour cherries, the size of marbles, are jarred right after the harvest. Their consistency is firm and juicy, not mushy or bland like many other cherry concoctions. They’re preserved in a cherry syrup, which adds a sweet balance to the naturally tart fruit.
