Kay's Pistachio Bread

INGREDIENTS:
1 pkg white cake mix with pudding
1 [3.4 oz] pkg instant pistachio pudding
4 eggs
1/4 cup oil
2 tablespoons water
1 cup sour cream
3/4 cup maraschino cherries, quartered
Few drops green food coloring
1/2 cup chopped nuts, optional
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup cinnamon

DIRECTIONS:
Combine all ingredients except sugar and cinnamon, mixing with a spoon or a mixer. Mix sugar and cinnamon. Grease two 2 1/2 X 4 1/2 X 8" disposable foil pans and sprinkle part of the cinnamon mixture in bottom of pans. Add batter and sprinkle remaining cinnamon mixture on top. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 - 50 minutes. Cool and wrap in foil. Store for a few days before using. (Also good immediately; however, waiting allows cinnamon to mellow and flavor bread.) Freezes well.

Or bake 4 baby loaves, 5 3/4 X 3 1/4 X 2", for 40 minutes.
