cranberry bread

One big pleasure of the season, besides decorating Christmas tree and drinking cocoa, is eating cranberry bread! We wait until Thanksgiving to make the first loaf, it is so easy to bake and so easy to eat.... One way to cut down on eating so much of it is making mini loaves, and even better bringing some to the neighbors.

A few of my neighbors are older folks, living by themselves, but keeping an eye on the hood, perfect to make sure the kids make it from school safe! So for them, I bake a mini loaf. Other neighbors have much larger family and receive the full size.

It is fun to drop it off with our Holiday card and wish everybody a merry time. here is my favorite version of the cranberry bread (or 6 little ones): 1 egg 3/4 cup of sugar 2.5 cup of flour   3.5 tsp of baking powder 10 oz of milk 3 tbsp of butter 1 cup of coarsely cut cranberry mix top 6 ingredients together, folding in the cranberry last bake at 350 for 60-70 minutes. let cool down and enjoy! To deliver to my neighbors, I use a little cellophane bag, some red twine and a cute tag from Whipperberry.

Happy day!
