This recipe is adapted from http://www.twopeasandtheirpod.com/orange-cranberry-bread/ I only had enough fresh cranberries to make two loaves and I wanted to make four so I used dried cranberries, one bag had dried blueberries in it and I also added sliced almonds. Their bread is very pretty and has a pop of tarty cranberries, my bread is very flavorful with much more texture So I have combined both dried cranberries (with Blueberries if desired) and fresh cranberries.

How To Make cranberry orange blueberry almond bread

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 350º. Spray TWO 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 loaf pans ( or 3 medium foil pans, or 8 mini loaves) with cooking spray and set aside.
  • 2
    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder. In a small bowl, combine sugar and orange zest. Rub together with your fingers until fragrant. Whisk into the flour mixture. Set aside.
  • 3
    In a separate medium bowl, combine the buttermilk, oil, eggs, orange juice, and vanilla.
  • 4
    Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. Fold in the cranberries and blueberries. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan.
  • 5
    I place both loaf and mini loaves on a baking sheet. Bake mini loaves 40 min. Regular loaves bake about 65 minutes then cover top loosely with foil to prevent over browning, bake another 15 minutes.
  • 6
    Remove bread from oven and place on a cooling rack and cool for 15 minutes. Loosen the sides of the bread with a knife. Carefully remove loaf from pan. Let cool completely on wire rack.

    Once the breads cooled I sliced them and places them in large french fries paper containers with wax paper liner and then glazed them. Then I placed in plastic bags with ties and gave them as Christmas gifts.
