I love pumpkin, and banana bread, now I need to find an outstanding cranberry bread. I just will not give up making and baking the breads. They smell so lovely!

Hello, @qualitygal!

I'm from New England, and I, as well as everyone I know, uses the Ocean Spray Cranberry Bread recipe that's found on the back of their bags of cranberries.

Maybe there are better recipes out there, but I wouldn't know!

The recipe that Sabatini posted is very similar to one I have been making for several years.  It is very good.  The only difference is my recipe uses 2 Tablespoons melted butter, does not call for orange peel and uses 1/2 cup orange juice plus 2 Tablespoons hot water.  I use 1 cup whole cranberries, fresh, unchopped.  My recipe says bake at 325 for 1 hour and 10 mins. or until done.

This is a very nice bread to serve at holidays.

I live in carver ma . where the cranberries grow , There is a drought here and cranberries did nt get as much water down here so the price of cranberries may be hogher this year , Ithink there was a lower yield of cranberries ,
