Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh cranberries and lemons 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 lemon zest finely: This will help release the lemon's essential oils and give the bread a more intense lemon flavor.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing will make the bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This usually takes about 50-60 minutes.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing: This will help prevent the bread from crumbling.
