It's not the holidays for me without this bread and the honey butter is unbelievable. It just complements the cranberries and orange so well. I love it!

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Cranberry orange is a fantastic flavor combination and this bread is filled with both. The sweet orange pairs nicely with the tart cranberries. Dense and moist, cranberry orange bread is a tasty breakfast or snack. Don't skip the honey butter - it's unbelievable and a must. We'll end up using it on other bread recipes too.
