Orange Cranberry Bread

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 20 min. Bake: 50 min. + cooling YIELD: 2 loaves (16 pieces each).
This orange cranberry bread is packed with the zesty taste of cranberries and orange peel. I suggest serving slices toasted with butter or cream cheese. —Ron Gardner, Grand Haven, Michigan

Ingredients

  • 2-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 2/3 cup packed brown sugar
