Step 1
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Cream butter and icing sugar until smooth. Beat in egg and vanilla extract. Sift flour and salt over butter mixture and stir until well blended. Stir in halved candied cherries and pecan halves. Divide dough in half and shape into 2 logs. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
