Grandmother's Famous Cranberry Bread

Awesome taste and texture! Substituted chopped walnuts for raisens, orange extract for orange zest and added about 3 tablespoons of plain greek yogurt. Made 2 loaves so far. Family loved it! Daughter said I had to make more fast before her husband got home because she couldn't save any for him.

I made this in my 5th grade class and lived it! I copied the recipe and used it ever since. I lost the recipe and just found it here ! I was so excited! The only thing I changed in the recipe was that I omitted the raisins. It still turns out good in my own opinion! An awesome sweet and tart combination that leaves your taste buds wanting more!! :-)

Amazingly I followed the recipe as written except I did not chop my cranberries. I would never have thought to combine raisins and cranberries but they work well together both for taste and appearance. I must assume all those who complained about the bread crumbling did not cut the butter into the flour sugar mixture sufficiently. Both the baking time and temperature worked for me, although I did put a piece of foil over the top at about the halfway point of baking so the top didn't over-brown. All in all, this is a lovely holiday treat that I will include with my other homemade gifts. Thank you Mim Harris!

This is excellent. I've made this twice; once as written and once adding toasted walnuts instead of raisins. Both were delicious. I also increased the cranberries to 2 cups and did not chop them. This is such a pretty bread when cut. Thanks for posting this lovely recipe.

I thought this was wonderful. Made just as written, mine baked around the 70 min. every oven is different by a few degrees.
