The easy cranberry bread recipe is super-fast, like my sweet potato bread<\/a>. The tartness of cranberries, which, like their color, is intense and saturated, contrasts brightly with pleasing pockets of orange zest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The citrus touch moves the ruby gems into the spotlight and shows off their nuances\u2014perfect for Thanksgiving dinner, which needs a little tang, brightness, and lightening up!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The balance of chewy cranberries and soft cake crumb also makes cranberry orange bread a fantastic snack.

NOTES ON BREAD WITH CRANBERRIES<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As far as I know, we don\u2019t get fresh cranberries here. So, my recipe for orange bread had dried cranberries<\/strong>. They work well if you use one of these two tricks:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. I soak<\/strong> them in hot water,<\/strong> which plumps up the cranberries.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Or you can soak in orange juice<\/strong> for additional flavor.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    If you\u2019re making the orange quick bread specifically for the holiday season, rum<\/strong> is another option, like I did with my Christmas cake<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
