This is a really nice moist bread, wonderful with a cup of tea, coffee or a big glass of milk. It says "Autumn" with every bite

Talk about the flavors of the season! The pumpkin, cranberry and orange flavors make an appearance in every bite... and in just the right amounts. We added about 20 minutes to the suggested bake time to accommodate for our specific ovens and were thrilled with the result. The Test Kitchen

Orange Glaze

Mix well adding the cream/milk one Tbsp at a time until glaze consistency.
While loafs are still warm spoon glaze over each.(I use a small ladle) cool completely.
