ALMOND CRANBERRY BREAD



Almond Cranberry Bread image

From Ocean Spray flyer. It has been a many years since I've made this bread but my notes say it is yummy! My notes also say I added a 1/4 cup of chopped almonds to the batter and then used another 1/4 cup of sliced/slivered almonds for the topping. So I've adjusted the original to include this but feel free to leave the chopped almonds out of the batter itself. **Updated 12/7/11 - I've adjusted the bake time for this bread. The original times were definitely too long for this quick bread **

Tips:

  • Use fresh cranberries and oranges: Fresh cranberries and oranges provide the best flavor and texture for this bread. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries that have been thawed and drained.
  • Grate the orange zest: Grating the orange zest adds a burst of citrus flavor to the bread. Be sure to use a microplane zester or a fine grater to get the best results.
  • Toast the almonds: Toasting the almonds brings out their flavor and makes them more crunchy. You can toast the almonds in a toaster oven or in a skillet over medium heat.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the bread tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to ensure that the bread is cooked through.
