As soon as fresh cranberries hit the produce section of our local grocery store, I'm right there grabbing up as many as I can. I love cooking and baking with them, but one of my favorite recipes of all to use them in is this Cranberry Orange Bread. Cranberry and Orange are one of my favorite food combinations this time of year! My recipe makes one large loaf or three mini loaves and both freeze well. So I usually make a couple of batches so we have some whenever I get a craving. The loaves also make wonderful gifts around the holiday!
