This is an absolutely wonderful tasting bread. I have also used candied cherries rather than the cranberries. The batter is thick and makes a dense bread that is good toasted & served with honey butter, regular butter, regular whipped cream cheese or honey nut cream cheese. I could go on and on but I guess my favorite way to eat it is sliced with nothing added. My friend, Peggy Wilder, gave me a mini loaf for Christmas one year along with the recipe and I have been making it since.

    *I used candied cherries instead of the cranberries in a batch and that was very good. I like using either pecans or walnuts in mine.
