Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a 9 by 5 inch loaf pan well with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
2 1/4 cups all purpose flour, 3/4 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt
In a medium bowl, whisk together the mandarin oranges, cooled butter, eggs, sugar, and vanilla.
15 ounces mandarin oranges, 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, 2 large eggs, 3/4 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Add the chocolate chips to the dry ingredients and give them a light toss so they are coated in flour.
1/2 cup chocolate chips
Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Then mix in the cherries. Be careful not to overmix.
1/2 cup maraschino cherries
Pour the bread batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 55 to 65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted slightly off-center in the bread comes out with just a few crumbs.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then remove and allow to cool on a cooling rack for 1 hour before slicing and enjoying.
