Cranberry Fruit Nut Bread

Teresa Ambra
Cranberry Fruit Nut Bread is as delightful to smell as it is to taste! This lovely breakfast sweet bread is filled with tart, juicy cranberries, orange peel and orange juice and pecans. It's great for holiday breakfasts when cranberries are in season. Or, you can freeze cranberries and enjoy this tasty bread all-year round!

Notes

NOTE: This mixture can be baked in a 9x5” baking dish. Adjust cooking time accordingly. Ovens vary. Stick a knife all the way to the bottom of the dish.
