This is such a delicious quick bread. I really like the suggestion of one reviewer who wrote that she left the cranberries whole... that way you get the maximum flavor. I quess my only (very small) complaint about this bread was that I wanted more cranberries. I would probably double the amount next time. Thank you Karin for submitting this recipe!
p.s. I made another batch and baked it as mini loaves... recipe made 4; they were done in 25 min.... love this recipe!
This bread was wonderful! After greasing the pan, I sprinkled cinnamon and sugar in the pan to give the crust a sweet crunch. I sprinkled some extra chopped walnuts and some "sugar in the raw" on top before baking, and it really does look like a picture! Tastes great and a beautiful holiday bread. Takes no time to whip together too!
Excellent and Easy. This is the recipe on the back of the cranberry bags. Other than doubling the amount to 2 cups of berries and keeping them whole, I don't change a thing. Don't overbake. 50 min. exactly is right. If the dough is too stiff, add a few tablespoon of milk to moisten it up. TIP - for a prettier bread, place some cranberries on top of the batter before you bake it. The red color on top adds a gorgeous appearance to the bread. I also glaze mine with a lemon glaze. The glaze gives it a little tart flavor on top and keeps the bread moist. (glaze - lemon juice and powdered sugar). Glaze while warm.
Very tasty fruity bread. I doubled the recipe and baked it in "little loaf" pans 5 3/4 x 3 x 2 1/8 for 30 minutes. It made 5 little loaves.
This is a great recipe. I threw the cranberries in whole and it really turned out great. Nice slices of cranberries in the bread. Thx
This bread was fabulous! I thought that the orange flavor, from the juice AND zest, might be a bit strong, but it wasn't--it complimented the tang of the cranberries beautifully, so don't skimp on the orange zest...I took other reviewers' advice and used whole cranberries (increased to 1 1/4 cup) and it was perfect. Looks beautiful and tastes moist and flavorful--well worth making.
SUGGESTIONS: you can add one more egg if you want or increase the amount of cranberries or decrease the sugar to add some tablespoon of orange juice concentrate! Delicious!
This is so good! I made it on Thanksgiving day and everyone love it. My husband love it so much that he went to the market to grab me 2 more bags of cranberries. I also try to make it using the muffin pan and baked in the oven for about 22 mins and it came out good as well.
I found this to be very dry. Any suggestions as to what I can do to change it? thanks!
