Cranberry Raisin Bread

Submitted by CountryLady

"Before making cranberry sauce for my turkey, I always remove 1 1/2 cups from the bag of cranberries so I can make this loaf. You can also substitute cranberries for the raisins for an all cranberry loaf. Keep an eye on the oven after the first hour of baking. Enjoy!!"

I like everything about making this loaf, including the ease of preparation, the combo of orange, cranberries AND raisins (I love all 3 o them!), & I did use a very rounded measure of the zest! A definite make-again loaf for the upcoming holidays! [Tagged, made & reviewed as part of my Raisin theme in My-3-Chefs]
