Double Cherry Quick Bread

Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled, totaling 1 liquid cup)
• 3 eggs, lightly beaten
• 1 teaspoon almond extract
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 cups sugar (if you want a sweeter bread, increase sugar by 1/2 cup, totaling 2 cups of granulated sugar)
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon (I use Vietnamese Cinnamon, which is a rich, less harsh variety)
• 1 (20 ounce) can cherry pie filling
• 1 1/2 cups sour cherries, any juice drained away (this is for the TOTAL finished amount of cherries that are pitted and stemmed. Prep time does NOT in)
