This recipe was included in Book#228608. March 30, 2008 -- What a great snack bread this is!! I used frozen cranberries and it came out perfectly. Orange and cranberry are always a wonderful combination -- the bread is so moist and delicious that this recipe is a keeper -- in fact, it's so good that I'm going to make a few more loaves tomorrow to give to family. Thanks, Boomette, for another terrific recipe! -
Very easy recipe and tastes greate. -
This bread is really good! The tang of the cranberries is perfectly balanced with the flavor of the orange and walnuts. The bread is moist and full of flavor in each bite : ) Thanks so much, Boomette! I will definitely be serving this delightful bread whenever cranberries are plentiful! -
This was really good ! Even though my kids picked the cranberries out, they liked the bread. I had to use dried cranberries, which I soaked in 1 cup oj for 1/2 hour. They came out really moist. I also used splenda for the sugar. Thank you Boomette for posting! Made for Bevy Tag -
Slight change in mine as I used golden raisins instead of cranberries. I used 3/4 cup of Splenda for the sugar, 2 tbsp light margarine and 2 tbsp of unsweetened applesauce for the butter with 1/4 cup egg white for the whole egg . This recipe is scrumptious tasting, has perfect texture and it's moist without being sticky or heavy. I should mention that I baked it in an 8x4 pan and it worked perfectly. Superior recipe Boomie.
