CRANBERRY NUT BREAD
When I think of cranberries, it always makes me think of Thanksgiving. When I was in school, in the second or third grade, we had a Thanksgiving feast. Among the things I remember eating at the feast are cranberry salad and cornbread. That gave me a taste for cranberries, which to me makes this bread delicious!
