Cranberry Pumpkin Bread

I have been making this Cranberry Pumpkin Bread for years, and I can’t remember where I got the recipe. I think it was on the Food Network. Anyway, the combination of tart cranberries and sweet pumpkin bread is really REALLY good! Oh, and it makes your home smell divine! No need for those scented candles the day you bake this. This time I made the recipe into 2 loaves (smaller ones) and 9 mini loaves in my new Demarle flexipan (So I could share with my neighbors). I keep fresh cranberries in my freezer–so I always have them on hand when I feel the need to bake this! This bread freezes great. Enjoy!Cranberry Pumpkin Bread

    DO you do anything special to freeze the cranberries? They are on sale this week for $1.59. I want to buy some to try this bread and save for the future.

    And hey, I just did some totally adorable spice cakes in the Charolette Tray (also Demarle)–let me know if you want to see the pics on my blog (it’s private).

    I made this for our Halloween party and it was yummy, Mel. You gave me the recipe a few years ago and I’ve enjoyed it! The mini loaves look so cute.

Tribute to my sweet Mom

I developed my love of cooking at an early age “helping” my Mom bake cookies, make dinner, and knead bread. She had quite the well of patience! She is the one that taught me about measurements, leavening agents, egg-washes, the basic white sauce, and numerous other mysteries of the kitchen!  I cherish the memories I have of learning to cook at her side. Thank you Mom! You instilled in me a respect for work as well as a joy in creating delicious things. I love you! xoxo
