Tips:

  • Use fresh cranberries: Fresh cranberries have a tart flavor that pairs perfectly with the sweet pumpkin. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries. Just thaw them before using.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a loaf pan that is at least 9x5 inches: A smaller loaf pan will make the bread too thick, and it will not cook evenly. If you only have a smaller loaf pan, you can divide the batter between two loaf pans.
  • Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This usually takes about 60-70 minutes. If the toothpick comes out with wet batter, continue baking for a few more minutes.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing: This will help the bread hold its shape.

Conclusion:

This cranberry pumpkin bread is a delicious and festive treat that is perfect for fall and winter gatherings. It is easy to make and can be made ahead of time. With its moist texture, sweet and tart flavor, and festive appearance, this bread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
