I make this every Christmas and take to all my neighbors. It is very good. The only thing different is I use pecans.

Loved this bread, a luscious balance of tart and sweet. I used frozen cranberries, which I had on hand, and orange extract in lieu of orange zest. Great accompaniment for breakfast or brunch.

I could easily eat the whole loaf all by myself. I made the bread last night and it was great then but this morning it was so out of this world that I had to get right online and write about it. It is moist and delicious. I did make a glaze from orange juice and confectioners sugar, but even without it the bread would be excellent.

FANTASTIC! A couple changes: 1/4 cup applesauce instead of butter, 1 cup pecans, 1 cup craisins (poured boiling water over the craisins for 15 min prior to using). I put a foil tent over and removed it during the last 7 minutes of cooking. It looked & tasted amazing! Thanks chef! Update: I wanted to make this again but I only had about a half a cup of craisins, so I made half the recipe (with the aforementioned changes) and instead of orange juice (didn't have any), I used diet cranberry pop and made 12 pink muffins that look so cute!

This was a wonderful treat! I have made it three times in the past two weeks! I made the following changes: I used freshly squeezed orange juice and I substituted pecans for the walnuts. The first time I used fresh cranberries and the next two times I used frozen. Great results with both!

Anyone who ranks this less then a 4 star recipe either doesn't know how to read a recipe or follow directions! This is a good,solid recipe for Cranberry Nut Bread. It always cracks me up when someone gives a consis- tent 4 starred recipe a low review and says it tastes bad. The majority rules-and they rank this as a good recipe-just the way you sent it in. I make my own adjustments but they never affect how I rank a rec-ipe as they are just a reflect- ion of my personal preferences. For example, I love toasted nuts in my recipes as I feel the toasting brings out the nutty flavor in the nuts. I also monkey with spices because we prefer more nutmeg or cloves or cinnamon then some folks. I really enjoyed this recipe.It's very close to my recipe & I've been baking and selling my Cran-Nut bread for 30 years.Congrat- ulations on a great recipe!!!

Wow! This was amazing. I made the recipe just as it was written and the bread was very moist and tasted terrific. I like to use pecans instead of walnuts. I am also lactose intolerant so I use margerine instead of butter and rice milk instead of milk. This turned out great and I will always make this from scratch!

Hmm...it was ok, I wasn't crazy about it and people hardly touched it at my Thanksgiving dinner. It had a salty aftertaste. I'd try it again, but with less salt.

This is almost identical to my top-secret cranberry bread recipe (which came from the back of the bag of cranberries!), with the exception that mine calls for 2 tbs. of shortening. Next time I make it I think I'll try the butter instead. Anway, OMG this is a TERRIFIC recipe and so easy! I just brought a loaf (made in a bundt pan just for kicks) to work and everyone raved about it. The orange flavor is very very light and so good with the cranberry. I also throw in about a cup of white choc. chips for extra deliciousness! So pretty and festive and wonderful!!!

If there was the option for no stars, I would have given that. I thought this was AWFUL. I followed the recipe exactly (which I never do...) and it was gross. The cranberries were extremely tart. Even the bread part had a horrible taste and left a really bad after taste in my mouth.

As with most breads, I substitute whole wheat flour for the white - and use applesauce instead of butter. Quick, easy and delicious

I have used the recipe for years and got it from my Mom. It is SO good and very moist. I made a batch last night but added some blueberries for a little extra sweet/sour kick. The only change I make to this recipe is add 1 tsp. of vanilla. Other than that I wouldn't change a thing. I have also made this recipe without the orange zest and it comes out perfectly fine.
