cranberry nut bread
(2 RATINGS)
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.
