I maked this bread to give as gifts for Christmas for many years. It is a tradition in my family, becasue the bread is the best cranberry bread ever made. -
I made a loaf of this and my nephews who say "eeewww cranberries" loved this! I will definately be making more for the holidays. -
I followed the directions as written and it just did not turn out as I had expected. It was also very heavy, too heavy. -
pretty good bread. i only had 1/2 cup of cranberries so i sliced up some apples and added those to the mix with 1/2 tsp of vanilla. also omitted the walnuts and used 1/2 cup less sugar, and things turned out well. marinating the cranberries in the sugar overnite was a great idea since it made them taste more sweet than tart when you bit into one. -
This is a great basic recipe for delicious cranberry bread. To add a bit of sweetness and color to the bread, boil some dried apricots until plump and dice them up. Add them to the mix with the cranberries and walnuts. This is how I make my cranberry bread and EVERYONE loves it. Just make sure you have room in your tummy because you'll want more than one big piece!!

I enjoy cooking and have done so for the past 30 years. I worked in several food service areas before moving on to a non-cooking job. Cooking has become a hobby of mine and one I enjoy very much. I enjoy creating new recipes. I have several very good recipes from my grandmother, who by the way has taught me everythig I know about cooking. I have many recipes that I have collected over the years. I will try to post as many of them as I can over the course of time. Please view them.
