My granddaughter, Kelsey, and I saw this recipe and decided we needed to bake together. Kelsey and her sister, Aidan, don't like nuts so I omitted them from the original recipe and added golden raisins. —Annette Grahl, Midway, Kentucky

Absolutley love this recipe. Also great because you do not need a mixer to make.

This looked so good in the magazine that I had to make it. My son loved this bread and ate it every day. The streusel and glaze make this bread so delicious! I always make two loaves and freeze one.

The bread baked beautifully but was way too tart for my liking. Unfortunately no one would eat it. I thought it would be promising but it was not what I had expected it to be.

I made this today, and it was way too tart for any of us to eat. No offense to the one who posted this, but I won't be making this again.

Kind of disappointing. I thought with all of the positive reviews that this would be delicious, but it wasn't. the streusel topping didn't match the cranberry-orange flavor and the whole thing wasn't very good. Will not be making this again.

I first made this for my husband to take to a study group. I didn't have any fresh cranberries so I used dried, and it still turned out delicious. My only wish is that I saved an extra couple of slices before he left because when he came home the plate was bread and crumb free. :) He said it was gone within ten minutes, and they requested that he bring more to the next study group session!

Amazingly moist and flavorful. Everyone who has eaten it wants the recipe.

I used fresh squeezed orange juice with lots of pulp. I'm glad I froze lots of fresh cranberries so that I can make this bread year round!

I LOVE this recipe and have made it often as it always gets rave reviews. I've also made it with apple juice instead of orange juice and omitted the orange peel since my daughter has citrus allergies but I personally think it's best with the orange flavoring and the delicious glaze on top!

This is really a great tasting bread! I did have a problem with the streusel topping sinking into the bread and ending up at the bottom. Maybe to much and to heavy? I did not add the glaze to the bread. Thought it was just fine without it.

I just made this recipe and it is by far the best cranberry bread I have ever had. Easy to make and is so tasty. Not too sweet and oh so moist. Definately would recommend.
