Wisconsin is the largest producer of cranberries in the United States, with Massachusetts coming in second. Cranberries are harvested in the Fall, usually in September and October. Fresh cranberries can be frozen for several months and used in recipes without thawing.
I do have some cranberry recipes that have appeared on my blog, like Dried Cranberry Biscotti, Pantry Cranberry-Apple Sauce, and Red White & Blueberry Cookies. I also have a couple of cranberry recipes from my other blog: Ham and Arugula Sandwiches with Cranberry Chutney, and Cranberry Nut Turkey Salad.
The recipe I'm sharing today is made with fresh cranberries. I got the recipe from my Stepmother. I love it and I love that it makes multiple loaves - there's one in my freezer right now!

Mmmm! Cranberry nut bread sounds yummy!!!
ReplyDeleteOnly 3 more and you passed me my friend. *sigh* It's okay! I'm not bitter! LOL
Big I see you've resorted back to the original background that I had for you and you probably want me to "fix" your header size hugs to you!
LOL
Oh man that bread looks yummy! Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteI have never seen a Cranberry green tea book before that looks interesting.
ReplyDeleteMmmmm...that bread looks yummy! I will definitely have to save that recipe. Hubby loves cranberries. And the biscotti sounds delicious. Count me in!
ReplyDeleteSorry I haven't had a chance to participate. It has been a crazy week! Hope you are having a great one!
If you read my link, you'll find out how awful I am at making cranberry breads! Don't know why! But I do love them.
ReplyDeleteYummy, I think
ReplyDeleteI will make that bread some time soon!

I love cranberries! And I would love to try that tea. I really hope I win this one. :)
ReplyDeleteOh my! Do the giveaways just keep getting better or am I just partial to cranberries?! Thank you for the delicious looking cranberry bread recipe.
ReplyDeleteThat bread looks so yummy! And I'll bet the house will smell lovely while it's in the oven. Thanks, Lisa!
ReplyDeleteMmmmmmmMMMM I could use some of the bread with my coffee this morning!! ;)
ReplyDeleteI have loved this week of fruits. I've definitely gotten a few recipe ideas that I'm going to try. Thanks for the opp.!
ReplyDeleteNow, I desperately want some Cranberry Nut Bread!
ReplyDeleteI'll be honest - I have not always appreciate cranberries. Thankfully I grew up and now I LOOOOOOVE them! And with the production of sweetened dried cranberries, the use for them is endless!
ReplyDeleteI love cranberries but as a Wisconsinite, I am embarassed to say, I don't have any recipes. I sould get on that, don't you think?
ReplyDeleteI love cranberries too and had to check out all of your other cranberry recipes too. I have never made anything with fresh cranberries before but I'm going to live on the edge and try it. I recall buying a bag of them last year with the intent of using them (for something). They got mushy in the fridge and I had to throw them away. :( How wasteful! Not again, sister.
ReplyDeleteOH yeah!! I love 'em, too.
ReplyDeleteThat Cranberry Nut Bread sounds so good! I made apple cranberry crisp a few days ago and at this moment have a bunch of apples and a handful of cranberries cooking into applesauce in my crockpot!
ReplyDeletethanks for the recipe! Cranberries are a great fruit to bake with around the holiday! I buy lots of bags when they go on sale, freeze them and bake with them all winter

I'm late to the party... as always. (Need to remember the tips we learned during Real Life that day, huh?) Anyways, just added one of my fave cranberry recipes. It's an orange cranberry loaf that is pretty much a pound cake. I like to make mini-loaves and give them as gifts at Christmas.
ReplyDeleteThat bread looks tasty!
ReplyDeleteI love cranberries...thanks for sharing your cranberry nut bread recipe...planning to make it this weekend :)
