Cranberry Bread

Who doesn’t love cranberries?  And especially at this time of year?!  There is nothing that tastes like the holidays quite like cranberry (well, maybe pumpkin, but this post is about cranberry!). It’s always fun to find new and different ways to create tasty holiday items.  I have fun coming up with new ideas like this bread. This easy recipe makes a very moist, tart and spicy, glazed and sweet Cranberry Bread.  It is perfect for a light dessert or snack.
