Fruit Bread

Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a loaf pan thoroughly.

Whisk together the sifted flour, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl; set aside.

Beat the 3 eggs with the 1 cup sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy, approximately 3-4 minutes.

Gently fold the flour mixture into the egg-sugar mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Stir in the chocolate chips, chopped dates, green cherries, chopped pecans, and chopped red cherries until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Bake in the preheated 350°F oven for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with only a few moist crumbs.

Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
