Cranberry Orange Quick Bread a sweet bread made with orange zest, freshly squeezed orange juice, and fresh or frozen cranberries.

Cranberry Orange Quick Bread

This cranberry orange quick bread is something that the whole family loves. Cranberry and orange are one of my favorite combinations at the time of year.

Quick bread has always been a part of my Christmas celebrations. When I was a kid my mom made a date and pear bread that was out of this world. She would make a large batch of the stuff and freeze several loaves of it so that we have it through the holiday season.

Unfortunately, my family would not touch this date and pear bread, so I had to find something to replace it with. This cranberry orange quick bread is something that my family does not turn their noses up at.

Which is better to use frozen or fresh cranberries when baking? 

I find that either the frozen or the fresh work well when using them for baked goods. For this bread, I used frozen cranberries, but you could use fresh ones.

Do you have to use fresh squeezed orange juice for this recipe?

Fresh orange juice is the best, but you can substitute store boughten juice if you do not have oranges.

    Dawn, your Cranberry Orange Quick Bread is a great idea and looks to be doable by even a non-baker like me. A perfect match for that afternoon coffee (we call it Fika). We don’t get cranberries over here but we have tons of frozen lingonberries in the freeze that I think will work just fine. Oh, and Yes we love quick bread.
