Cranberry Orange Bread
This moist cranberry bread with fresh cranberries and a hint of orange zest and is topped with an orange glaze. It’s one of my favorite quick bread recipes to prepare because it always draws a crowd!
When I think of the winter season, many flavors come to mind, but no flavor combination is more delicious than orange and cranberry. I love tart cranberries paired with sweet orange.
It’s the original and I recommend making two loaves because trust me, it will disappear quickly! You can leave off the orange glaze if you're trying to cut back on sugar. Same bake time and temperature.
