Thanks Peggy!

Thanks so much for the feedback Martha. I’ll have to try your trick of using dried cranberries – sounds delicious!

I’ve made this recipe twice and it’s turned out great both times (good thing I found it *after* you corrected the baking powder error, lol!). I don’t keep oranges around, but 2/3c OJ works great. At Thanksgiving I made it with fresh cranberries — two loaves, froze the second one for a month and it was just as good at Christmas. Made muffins last night with dried, Ocean Spray brand that I re-hydrated beforehand. Poured boiling water over them and let them soak for several hours, then rinsed them. They are much less sweet when you do this. What I should have done is let them dry more as they did add a little moisture into the batter, but I don’t think that affected the outcome too much. Will definitely do this again because I have a huge bag to use up!

Thanks Annette!

Me again. Well, this is embarrassing. I asked Jeanne (provider of the original recipe) to double check the ingredients, to make sure there wasn’t a typo. And, there is – I have corrected it now. It should be 3 teaspoons (1 tablespoon) baking powder, not 3 tablespoons. My apologies for not catching this before. And, many thanks for bringing it to my attention, so I could correct it.

Oh no, Susan I’m so sorry! My friend Jeanne, who gave me the recipe, lives in Denver (at 5300 feet), and I did as well until a month ago. Since we’ve both made this bread at high altitude several times, I don’t think that’s the issue. You put it in 2 pans, correct? If so, then all I can think of is that it needed to bake longer. Again, I’m sorry my recipe didn’t work for you.

Says This was a duplicate comment and it wasn’t!

I don’t own a bread machine, so I don’t really know for sure. If you can make other quick breads in it, then I would say this recipe would work also. Sorry!
