EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Cranberries are also known as "bounceberries" because they bounce once they're ripe.

Cool the bread completely before slicing to prevent crumbling. Cut with a sharp, thin-bladed knife, using a light sawing motion.

To much batter for a 9 x5 pan. I cooked it for almost hour and 45 minutes before it was done. Had to turn down oven and put foil on top to stop burning. Gave as a gift and hope it was ok. Batter very thick and heavy. Going to make today putting more liquid. Hope it works.

This is a great recipe!! My boyfriend that doesn't like sweets asks for this. I've also made smaller loaves and given it for gifts. It's a hit.

I added 1 cup of plain yogurt to my recipe (I used wheat flour which can sometimes be a little dry), and also added a little orange juice concentrate to bring up the orange flavor. It came out very moist! You might want to try this!
