Delicious! It was dense & moist and because I didn't have any OJ & had to use lemon juice it tasted like a lemon cranberry pound cake. Oh YUM! I used a little extra lemon zest & the fresh lemon juice but otherwise followed the recipe. I think next time I'll even try adding some unmelted vanilla chips to the batter with the cranberries. I can't wait to try it again with the orange juice (I'll have to hide it from my kids. lol) Thanks for sharing, Syd! Made for Every Day is a Holiday tag game.

    Wow! This is so tasty. I didn't melt the chips but just put them in as they were. Also, I didn't have quite enough cranberries so used 1 cup of cranberries and 1/2 cup sultanas which worked really well. This bread is amazing. Thanks!

    I had to make a few substitutions given what I had in my kitchen when I went to make this. I substituted regular shortening instead of butter flavored shortening, and lemon juice instead of lemon zest. I also used 1 cup of fresh cranberries instead of 1 1/2 cups of dried cranberries (because its cranberry season in Wisconsin). This bread was light and fluffy and is just like cake! Yum!! This would be a great gift giver during Christmas time. I will definitely make this again and thank you for sharing your recipe.

    A festive holiday bread! Delicious! I took it to the office's holiday potluck party this week and it was devoured. The white chocolate chips embedded a rich moist texture to it, and quite subtle since the recipe only calls for 1/2 cup. I didn't have butter flavored shortening so used my organic shortening combined with a tablespoon of unsalted butter. Thanks, Sydney Mike! Made for 123 Hit Wonders.
