CRANBERRY ORANGE BREAD WITH ORANGE BUTTER GLAZE
I came up with this recipe myself. I hope you like it. It isn't as sweet as some quick breads because of the cranberries, but I like the tartness. Let me warn you, though. It smells really good fresh out of the oven, but PLEASE let it sit overnight in the refrigerator before trying it. When it is still warm, but flavors haven't blended and it is extremely tart. The longer it's allowed to sit, the better it gets. We had this for Thanksgiving and I received several compliments on it. Prep time is an estimate. Enjoy!

Tips:
- Use fresh cranberries. Fresh cranberries have a brighter flavor than frozen or dried cranberries. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries, but be sure to thaw them before using.
- Zest the orange before juicing it. The zest of an orange is the flavorful outer layer of the peel. When you zest an orange, you're removing this flavorful layer in thin strips. Adding orange zest to your bread will give it a brighter, more citrusy flavor.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will 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.
- Let the bread cool completely before glazing it. This will help the glaze set properly.
- Serve the bread warm or at room temperature. Cranberry orange bread is best served warm or at room temperature. You can also store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Cranberry orange bread is a delicious and festive quick bread that's perfect for the holiday season. It's made with fresh cranberries, orange zest, and Grand Marnier glaze. This bread is moist, flavorful, and sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
