Cranberry Orange Bread

 

Here is a great bread recipe, perfect for the fall.

It's an oldie, but such a goodie a la my Grandma.

I made this last night in preparation of a weekend visit from one of my best girlfriends!

I doubled the recipe and used what I think tastes best (changes in purple)!

Enjoy!
