I've been looking for a Cranberry Walnut Bread recipe for years. The one I've tasted is probably a sourdough bread, but all my attempts have come up less than expected or desired. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Guess you didn't try google?

I bought a pottery bread baker many years ago and it had 12 bread recipes with it. This is one. You can no longer find Cran-Fruit cranberry orange, so I substitute 1 can whole fruit cranberry sauce. It is very good and almost like a tea bread. We like it with a xxx sugar glaze.

Combine dry ingredients
2 cups sifted(I never sift) self-rising flour
1/2 t. lemon peel
2/3 cup sugar

Add
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1 container Cran-Fruit cranberry orange(see above)
1 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup margarine(melted)
1/4 cup milk
Pour into loaf pan and bake 60-70 minutes @ 350

Thank you for the responses. I will have to try your recipe Jodyma. I did google it several months ago and tried some of them ~ guess I was wanting a "tried and true" recipe. May have to re-visit the recipes on the net. There is a bakery in a neighboring town that sells it, and I can't seem to reproduce the same taste. But thanks to each of you for your help!

It has cranberries, walnuts, cheddar cheese, real orange juice...yum!! Might have to make some. If you are interested,,,PM me and I will send along the recipe.

Any bread by Peter Reinhart is a winner. His recipe has been tested over and over and
there are excellent reviews. I would definitely give this a try.
