Cranberry-Walnut Bread

My mother always made delicious cranberry bread every holiday season while growing up. This was secretly one of my favorite items during the season, and I couldn’t get enough of it.

My version is similar to the flavor I remember from my childhood. Sadly, I was never able to get my hands on the recipe from my mother, but that probably doesn’t matter too much because I doubt the process was much more than a basic ‘quick-bread’ style preparation similar to a typical Banana Bread recipe. I also like to give the bread a bit of character

My mother always made delicious cranberry bread every holiday season while growing up. This was secretly one of my favorite items during the season, and I couldn’t get enough of it.

My version is similar to the flavor I remember from my childhood. Sadly, I was never able to get my hands on the recipe from my mother, but that probably doesn’t matter too much because I doubt the process was much more than a basic ‘quick-bread’ style preparation similar to a typical Banana Bread recipe. I also like to give the bread a bit of character by using whole wheat flour and natural cane sugar for sweetness.

Difficulty: simple
Yield: One 24-cm (about 10-inch) loaf pan
