This bread is perfect around the holidays! On a snowy day, I love a hot cup of coffee and a slice of this bread.
It presents beautifully, the flavors blend so well and has a moist texture
Since it can be difficult and expensive to find fresh cranberries “off season”, I always grab a few extra bags during the winter months and toss in the freezer so I always have a bag on hand.
The prep is very easy, most of the ingredients can be blended in a food processor which is a win for me!

Add batter to an oiled parchment paper lined bead pan. Parchment paper is not essential but does make it easier for removal.
