This bread is great! I made it yesterday and stored it in the frig last night. It was still moist and delish! I did not add the nuts, because I don't like them. Still great and not too sweet. Was a bit tart but I think that's because I added too much cranberries. Hope you enjoy this delicious and simple treat. Thanks you to Mrs. Bins

I live in the San Francisco area and love it here. I discovered Recipezaar (then Food.com..Genius Kitchen) in 2001 and have been so happy to have my favorite recipes stored safely here. I am mother to 7 and grandmother to 7.
I love to knit, smock, sew, etc., but my favorite hobby of the moment is traditional rug hooking. This is a sample of what I do.? It's called "November".? I dyed most of the wool myself. It is made from wool flannel, cut into strips a little less than 1/4" and then worked into a linen backing. This is my 3rd rug.
