I make this recipe every year to give to neighbors, friends, and guests. You can get five mini loaves from a double batch. It also freezes well. Wrap each loaf in plastic wrap and place it in a ziplock bag until time to use. I prefer the dried cranberries(craisins) for they give the bread a sweeter taste. Such a nice bread to give as a gift.
