Apricot Cranberry Bread image

I was making cranberry bread one day and wanted to try something a little different. I found a jar of apricot jam in the refrigerator and decided to spoon the jam into the center of the bread. It looked lumpy, so I took a knife and cut the jam into the bread. The end result was delicious. -Diane Roth, Milwaukee, Wisconsin

I'm not a big fan of dried fruit, but I really enjoyed this bread. The apricots and cranberries were not too overpowering and they added a nice texture to the bread.

This bread was a hit at my holiday party! I made two loaves and they were both gone in no time. Everyone loved the combination of apricots and cranberries. I will definitely be making this bread again next year.

The bread was a bit too sweet for my taste, but other than that it was very good. I think next time I'll use less sugar or add some chopped walnuts to balance out the sweetness.

This apricot cranberry bread was a delightful treat! The combination of sweet apricots and tart cranberries made for a perfectly balanced flavor. The bread itself was moist and fluffy, with a slightly crispy crust. I will definitely be making this ag
