Magic cranberry bread I made these in the small loaf pans , each pan held 8 oz of batter and was 2/3 full. Baked at 350F for 20 minutes.Beautiful fragrance, lightly golden brown, with ruby red speckles That is all I can personally attest to... went to take a nap , when I returned they had disapeared. My husband and son came home while I slept.Went back out before I awakened. I made a new batch just for me . LOL.They are outstanding Thanks Debbie

My husband made this for a Church event because I was feeling under the weather, and it is great stuff! Easy to put together, especially if you have a mini-prep or food processor to chop up the cranberries quickly! We used dried orange rind and followed the recipie to the letter. Might try half whole wheat flour next time. It made the house smell so fresh and warm and holiday-ish! Thanks RecipeNut!

We had 1/2 bag of cranberries left over from Thanksgiving, so I made a half recipe of this using orange rind and walnuts, along with a small amount of Penzey's Cake Spice. (I used 1/4 tsp spice in a 1/2 recipe of Cranberry Bread, but would probably double the spice next time.) Even DH, who was a great skeptic due to his past experiences with dry and uninteresting Cranberry Bread, loved it. I found it to have a nice lightness in character that was excellent with a cup of tea. It was moist without being heavy - like a cross between a quick bread and a cake. When sliced, it was beautiful with red pieces of cranberry. It is a little tart, and another version would be to use half dried cranberries to add a little sweetness and texture. It rose very prettily in the pan and made a very nice presentation. We'll probably use this recipe for little "giveaway" cakes at Christmas. Thanks, RecipeNut!

I needed to use up some fresh cranberries, so I searched for a new recipe to try. As soon as I found this recipe, I knew it was one I had to try. I followed the recipe exactly as written, except that I made it in a bundt pan instead of two loaf pans to give it a festive look. I also drizzled the bread with a white glaze. I took it to a friends house for Thanksgiving dinner and it was enjoyed by all. Thanks for sharing such a tasty recipe.

Wonderful Cranberry Bread - an absolute keeper. I looked at the reviews and used everyone's ideas: used pecans and covered with a simple orange glaze made with one cup icing sugar + 1 tbsp orange juice. I always cut oil by half and add applesauce instead - yummy and moist and less fattening. This has a nice light taste and the right balance between tart and sweet - even better the 2nd day. I'm glad it makes 2 loaves since we are just about done the first one in one day! Wonderful - will be part of my permanent collection.

This was excatly the recipe I was looking for, just a basic cranberry loaf, and I made it exactly as written. Fast and easy to put together, pretty multicolored loaves. I used walnuts, they were fine, pecans would be even better if you have them.

This is a nice cranberry bread. I omitted the nuts, but otherwise folllowed the recipe exactly. I love cranberies & have made cranberry muffins the last 3 Saturdays. This week I thought my family deserved something different!

I made this for Thanksgiving and brought the second loaf to my office - at the end of the day when I went to take the remnants home, there was a protest! Great, simple recipe!

Absolutely AWESOME! I made these for a bake sale, I made the batter into mini loaf pans, made 6 loaves. I frosted it with an orange glaze. My mom and grandma said they had to have some so they tried it and couldn't quit eating it! So moist and tender!! Wow!! Thanx so much, RecipeNut!
