Cranberry Pumpkin Bread

SUBMITTED BY: Blanche Whytsell

"Pairing canned pumpkin and cranberry sauce in a quick bread was Blanche Whytsell's imaginative idea. 'The result is moist and tasty,' she divulges from her Arnoldsburg, West Virginia kitchen. 'The orange glaze drizzled over the loaf adds a colorful finishing touch.'"

this is a great way to get rid of leftover cranberry sauce. I had leftover Blue Cranberry Sauce (from AR) that already had some spices in it. I did use the 2tsp pumpkin pie spice as stated in the recipe and it was well spiced, but if just using canned cransauce, and you like a spiced up bread, I would suggest maybe upping the spice a bit. Added some chopped fresh cranberries, and some tangerine zest. replaced all the oil with applesauce. This produces a very moist, heavy, dense bread which is not a bad thing, but if one likes a light delicate bread, I would not suggest using this recipe. the 65 minutes was spot on. At first, the bread seems bouncy or rubbery, but as it sets, it becomes moist and that rubbery texture disappears. Thanks for a great way to use up some thanksgiving leftovers!
