Hi Jen... made your Cranberry-poppyseed loaf tonight, and it turned out wonderful, my DH just devoured half of the cake with his tea, he just loved it.... great texture and rose very high with a nice high top in the center, just the way I like it. I took a chance with frozen cranberries, cause that is what I had in my freezer from Christmas, and added a little more sugar, cause myself and DH have a sweet tooth, the addition of orange juice gave it a really nice flavor. This is a 5 star all the way. I will be making this again very soon. Keep up the good work! thanx for sharing a wonderful recipe :-)

I love to garden, both perennials and vegetables. I am always looking for recipes to fiddle with, especially good simple vegetable dishes. I try to use organic ingredients as much as possible.
