3/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
3 cups Brazil nuts
1 lb pitted dates

Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Grease one 9x5 inch loaf pan.

Sift the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together.

Mix in the nuts, dates, and cherries.

Beat the eggs until foamy, add the vanilla and the flour mixture. Stir until just combined and pour into the prepared pan.
