Orange Cranberry Bread

Orange Cranberry Bread at Miz Helen's Country Cottage
The combination of orange and cranberry is one of my favorites and I love being able to use that combination in this awesome Orange Cranberry Bread recipe. We love a nice fruit bread for our coffee break and it is perfect for afternoon tea. I really enjoy making this recipe during fresh cranberry season although it can be made the year round with frozen cranberries. This recipe will make 1 large loaf or 3 small loaves, you may want to share an extra loaf with a friend.

  3. This looks delicious; I made a cranberry bread but I think we used lemon with it not orange... I think I'd really like the orange/ cranberry combo better. Pinned.
