1

Measure carefully, placing all bread ingredients except cranberries in bread machine pan in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Add cranberries at the Raisin/Nut signal or 5 to 10 minutes before last kneading cycle ends.
2

Select Whole Wheat or Basic/White cycle. Use Medium or Light crust color. Do not use delay cycle. Remove baked bread from pan; cool on cooling rack.
3

In small bowl, mix butter and cranberry-orange relish until well blended. Serve with bread. Store butter in refrigerator.

Simplify your life by using store-bought flavored cream cheese instead of making cranberry-orange butter.
You’ll get a deeper flavor if you use molasses instead of honey. You can also use 2 tablespoons of honey and 2 tablespoons of molasses instead of the 1/4 cup honey.
