Cranberry Nut bread recipe#Holiday breakfast recipes#bread#Christmas cake recipes







Very low fat,super soft and extra crunchy with rich fresh Cranberries and chopped nuts.Freshly baked bread is a good recipe for holiday break fast with a cup of warm milk/tea or coffee.Cranberry bread is a traditional holiday recipes in America.
I love baking breads with different seasonal fruits and this time i have tried with holiday cranberries.They are rich red colored berries used with Thanksgiving Turkey as a sauce.While  baking,orange juice and orange zest is used along with cranberries in order to reduce its tart taste.Try out this nutty fruity bread for your upcoming holiday break fast.
