CRANBERRY ORANGE QUICK BREAD WITH CREAMY ORANGE SPREAD
Rich and cake-like. I make this every Christmas and give away to friends and family. It freezes well, so you can make it in advance. The orange spread can be put into a small container and be kept in the refrigerator. I chop my cranberries in the blender - just pulse it a few times and they will be lightly chopped.

- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the bread tough.
- Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will ensure that the bread is cooked through.
- Let the bread cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
