Pumpkin Cranberry Bread

As I am blogging this recipe this is baking in the oven and it smells so good. The week of Thanksgiving is the time when I switch from pumpkin or pumpkin spice to pumpkin cranberry. I am also known to just go Cranberry because it is festive for Thanksgiving and Christmas.

If you are looking for a simple bread for breakfast, to take to a party, etc you have got to try this one out. You get the taste of pumpkin with the sweet and tart cranberry. 

Ingredients: 

3 cups all purpose flour

2 tsp baking soda

1 1/2 tsp kosher salt

3 cups granulated sugar 

1 (15 oz) can pumpkin purée 

4 eggs

1/2 cup orange juice OR water

1 cup dried, fresh, or frozen cranberries

1 cup vegetable oil
