Made this into muffins as a loaf of bread would only wind up with half it going to waste. This way I can freeze the muffins and take a couple out whenever we want something like this with our morning coffee. These have a nice tang from the cranberry, and perfect touch with the crystalized ginger and pecans I used. Thank you for this easy and tasty bread.

i've made this twice. the first time it looked like it was done, bus as it cooled it cracked in the center and the botton was uncooked. the second time i used 2 loaf pans, divided the batter, and cooked for 45 minutes, they came out fine. great sweet taste, the cranberries are wonderful in this recipe.
