This is a really YUMMY BERRY LOAF! It has a sort of pudding-like texture on the inside and a great brown crust on the outside. The taste is very berrylicious and summery. Mmmm, so yummy! I cut back on the sugar by half a cup, which was still plenty for me. But I dont like my things too sweet, so if youre more on the sweet side, the 1 cup would be perfect Id say. As I live in Germany I couldnt find whole berry cranberry sauce, so I subbed yoghurt and juicy cranberries for it, which worked out nicely. I made a big loaf instead of 4 mini ones, cause I couldnt get hold of my mini loaf tins. That way the loaf had to bake 1 hour and 20 minutes, but it was well worth the wait! :) THANKS SO MUCH for sharing this lovely recipe with us, Chef Buggsy Mate! Ill surely make it again.
