Cranberry and Orange Bread

"A nice way to use up those Christmas (and Thanksgiving) cranberries that don't make it into your cranberry sauce. This is pretty low calorie as it contains no oil or butter, just applesauce. Orange and cranberry go well together. I read a recipe for a cranberry bread and decided to make it healthier and ended up almost completely changing the recipe, so I like to count it as my own."

  1. I think that it is very delicious! I am going to make more!
     
  2. We love cranberry orange bread however, the family recipe I have has a lot of butter in it. I have been working hard to lower calories and fat in our diet so I thought I would give this recipe a try. I like the fact that it isn't overly sweet... some recipes take away from the tartness of the cranberries calling for too much sugar. The only issue I had with the recipe is the fact that the bread did not rise very much. We were left with a relatively flat loaf. Made and reviewed for Spring PAC 2011.
