CRANBERRY BREAD WITH ORANGE GLAZE

This cranberry bread is a sweet and tender quick bread loaded with fresh cranberries and topped with a tangy orange glaze. Cranberry bread is perfect for dessert, an after school snack, or served with a cup of tea.

I love a good quick bread – pumpkin chocolate chip bread and blueberry banana bread are some of our all time favorites. This sweet and tart cranberry bread is the perfect treat during the winter months when fresh cranberries are in season!

When cranberries are widely available at the store, I try to cook with them as much as possible. Once they’re gone for the season, you have to wait a whole year to get them again! This cranberry bread is a super moist loaf with plenty of cranberry flavor and a hint of orange. It’s quick to make and totally delicious.
