"This is great served with breakfast or brunch or just as a hearty snack. I like to serve with softened cream cheese as a spread. Prep time does not include overnight soaking for cranberries."

Taste was good but the end result was just too dry. Sorry.

ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL BREAD! I liked everything about it ~ Its preparation (so easy), its aroma (so comforting), its taste (out-of-this-world, in my opinion)! I ALWAYS buy extra bags of fresh cranberries, especially when they're quality berries, & freeze them to use throughout the year (if I still have any left by the end of Spring)! And, although I did follow the list of ingredients, I was very generous with the orange zest (I usually am when it comes to zest)! I gifted one of the loaves to a neighbor couple & they loved it as much as we did, but if I grant my other half his wish, I'll be making another couple of loaves within the week! Thank you so much for this wonderfully tasty treat! [Tagged & made in Please Review My Recipe]

Great recipe, adapts well to gluten free, too! I made one loaf gluten free, one loaf as per the recipe, both turned out perfect! The batter does come out very thick - don't be alarmed. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe! Made for PRMR tag.

I hate writing anything negative; but I followed this exactly and was very disappointed. The dough was VERY thick and that worried me; but after double checking; I was sure I had included all the ingredients. It was very dense; had a very dry texture and little flavor. I was very hopeful; but honestly won't use this again.

What's not to like? I wasn't sure about soaking the cranberries overnight either, but after doing it I can tell the difference in the taste. They aren't' quite as sour using this method. I made 2 large loaves out of it. I used a little leftover hot orange tea for the water. Very good. I will make this for Christmas morning this year!
