23 Reviews of Cranberry-Orange Quick Bread

i gave this to my friends for our holiday dinner and i thought it was absolutely delicious! Some of them are not into tart items, so it may not be the best to give someone with a real sweet tooth. One quick tip would be to let the batter sit for a few minutes to let it thicken up. This will give you a nice "bread dome". I didn't wait for one batch to thicken and it just had a flat-top (didn't affect the flavor, just the presentation).

    This was sooooo very yummy. I made this in 8 mini loafs because it is going to be part of Christmas gift baskets. I cut the baking time down to 40 minutes and they came out just perfect. Richard (my hubby) is loving taste testing all these recipes. I will be making more of this soon.

    For the past three years, I have made this recipe for Sunday School teachers, neighbors and school teachers. I know it seems unreal but I bake 50 loaves of this bread to give it away and each time it is so appreciate. The taste is so unique.

    winkki, the winner...I am always on the lookout for good, tasty loaves to contribute to bake sales for church functions...this one certainly qualifies as being particularly good...just enough combination of ingredients to create enticing aroma throughout the house during the baking process... Because of health implications, I must use a sugar substitute for my own enjoyment and it works well; when baking additional loaves for bake sales, I shall follow your recipe and use refined sugar....thank you winkki for taking time out to post this recipe, and I look forward to your additional contributions...pofta buna

    We just got through making 48 mini loaves of this bread for a school fund-raiser. It was the most requested bread, lemon-poppy seed (Lemon Poppy Seed Quick Bread)being the second. This is one incredible bread! The flavor is absolutely wonderful. It's a perfect bread for the Thanksgiving/Christmas holidays, and as winkki stated, good enough to eat any time of the year. Thanks winkki, we'll be making it for years to come. One recipe makes about 6 mini loaves.

    Just made this up on the weekend to use up some fresh cranberries, a real winner. Did not make the glaze, DH likes to have his slices buttered, I loved it just as is, a keeper!!

    Winkki this was ever so tasty! Folks were coming up to a wedding and staying at a hotel... made it and brought it over to them for a bed or morning snack. Everyone loved it. Made sure to have the oranges so I could use freshly squeezed orange juice and followed your recipe exactly. Thanks! Definite keeper with requests for the recipe!

    This was very easy, moist, and delicious! I doubled the recipe ... no nuts as my daughter can't have them yet ... and I skipped the glaze. I used six (6) mini loaf pans (3 x 5-3/4) and baked for exactly 30 minutes at 350 degrees.

    I made this to give as gifts. It tastes wonderful. We had to keep one to try it to make sure it was good enough to give away. The only problem it we may eat it all before I can give it away. Thanks for a great recipe!

    I can't believe I forgot to review this! I've been baking cranberry/orange bread for years - using the same recipe until I realized I gave away the cookbook. What a blessing in disguise. Everyone loved it - the bread was so moist & the glaze was just heaven. I wouldn't change a thing -Thank you!!
