This is delicious ! I made the bread as is. The only thing I made different was the spread. I made an orange glaze. I didn't really want to discard the orange juice I cooked my cranberries in, so I used that and added just a little bit of sugar and butter. It was a little thin but I fixed that by adding just enough flour to thicken it up a bit so that it's spredable on the bread and not runny. I have to say that I tried this glaze on my cornbread because I still had some left it was tangy and delish. Great recipe Margaret, thanks for sharing !

You could serve this without the spread but the spread makes it special. I had compliments and repeat requests for the spread recipe. This is very easy to make and using the small can of candied yams mashed up equaled 1 cup almost on the nose. This froze well and it sliced up easily while still partially frozen.

I've made this bread four times now in the past three months. Adjusting it a little each time. I now think it's right how I want it. I Use about half a can of sweet potatoes just for convenience, Cut the sugar down to 1/4 C. of brown and 1/2 C. of white, I use 1 tsp of cinnamon but add 1/4tsp each grd. cardamom and grnd. ginger. then I substitute chopped prunes and pecans because I generally have both on hand... Also I just forget about the glaze and put some butter on it! or honey.

Great recipe. I modified a bit by using fresh cranberries cooked in 1/2 cup orange juice and 2 Tbsp sugar for 3 minutes. I used pecans for the nuts. I highly recommend this recipe.

This is amazing! You HAVE to make the cream cheese spread with it, it pulls it all together. I made a double batch, and gifted the other loaf! This is a perfect gift, or pass along for Holiday gathering! easy to prepare, and no adjustments needed. I have passed this recipe on to my sisters already! Thank you

This is the best cranberry bread I've ever tasted. We used whole cranberries instead of dried. Yummy!

I was a little scared to try this recipe because of the combination of cranberries & sweet potato but now I am glad I tried it! I did make one change. I simmered the cranberries in the orange juice and used them in the bread. I did not make the spread to go on top. They were delicious without it. Be careful not to over mix.
