This makes a pretty loaf of bread & is from the Taste of Home's Holiday Card Recipe Collection. I have tweaked it a little, to make it a little healthier or to personal taste. Try the original way or try my changes, or make your own changes. I will probably end up freezing half of it, because I am the only cranberry lover in the house.
