    It's very good but better if half the berries are frozen raspberries.

    I know everyone's taste is different but I can't believe that some complained that this bread is too tart. The joy of eating this for me is the juxtaposition of the tartness of the cranberries and the sweetness of the bread. I have made it countless times to rave reviews. I live on Cape Cod where they know how to bake with cranberries and have had some natives tell me this bread is better than theirs. High praise, indeed, and so easy to make. The batter is very thick but bakes up perfectly.

      Understand completely! Made this awesome bread yesterday and it will be my go to bread! I can foresee adding walnuts and/or orange zest at times, but for true cranberry lovers, this recipe is perfect!

      Hi Mary. I just made the recipe. If folks complain about the tartness, use a thin butter frosting. The tanginess and icing makes it the best. Mary can you send me some cranberry easy recipes..... thanks

    My mom used to make cranberry bread each fall and I have been looking for a simple recipe in hopes of recreating this tasty bread. I made this bread last weekend and it turned out great!

    I made this yesterday and it is delicious. The only changes I made were to add some sweetened dried cranberries (about 1/4 cup) and some chopped nuts. I'll definitely make this again.

    I love this bread and so does my family. I make it all the time and it come out perfect in my bread machine. The only thing I do diffrent is I add two table spoons more brown sugar.

    This is the second time I've made this lovely bread. The first time I followed the recipe exactly. The second time I was short on the brown sugar by a half cup and made up for it with white granulated sugar. The bread came out fine, in fact I preferred it the second time around. This is a great way to enjoy fresh cranberries. Now if I can just stop eating it! :D

    So I've never baked ANYTHING!! I saw this recipe & I had all the ingredients so I gave it a try today (Christmas Eve 2014). I left out the sugar on top & added red & green sprinkles on top . I also cooked down my cranberries into a glaze. Family LOVED it!!

    The cooking time was off by almost 20 minutes! and I had to add about another quarter to half cup of milk to make it a batter instead of what was almost a cookie dough! Does anyone test these recipes before posting them? The flavor is ok, nothing you'd crave after the last piece is gone. I think I'll be sticking to recipes out of my giant yellow Gourmet magazine cookbook...those never fail and are always uniquely delish. This was a slap dash recipe.

      The cooking time was likely off because of the extra milk you added. The extra 20 minutes is about right to balance out the extra liquid. My daughter has an egg allergy, so I have to change wet ingredients often. If the bread came out good with the extra milk and cooking time, perfect! If not, perhaps go back to the original recipe and see how it goes. I made this substituting vanilla yogurt for the egg, and it was delish!

I'm in the mood for:
