MissStacey's Note:

This is an easy fool proof bread that you can whip up and walk away for an hour. It's a version of my Mom's bread, but I prefer an all cranberry bread! Sorry Mom!

A wonderful and fruity bread that I made in my bread machine - and it worked perfectly as well! Made for the Spelling Bee Tag topic in the Photos Forum - thanks for a superb recipe! FT:-)

A Christmas tradition in my house. I make this bread for friends and family to give away as gifts. Wrapped in a nice dish towel,this bread is always enjoyed.
