Thank you – I’ve been munching on this for breakfast! 🙂
So you used REAL whole cranberries? They aren’t too sour in the bread? I might have to try to make this over the weekend but I guess I just can’t convince myself I don’t need the dried Craisins. 🙂
Yes, I use real whole cranberries in the recipe. It’s really good and not as tart as you would expect. This bread has just the right amount of sweetness with a little burst of tart from the cranberry. Let me know if you make it and like it! 🙂
Looks so delicious! I love cranberries 🙂
Thank you 🙂 I think you’d love this bread if you love cranberries!
I love this recipe, one of my favorites.
