How to Make Cranberry-Orange Pumpkin Bread
As the holidays approach, I keep my pantry stocked with everything that I need to do all of my baking. This way I am not running to the store every other day for things that I need. We go through a lot of flour, sugar, and eggs during this time of year. For this Cranberry-Orange Pumpkin Bread, you’ll need a lot of these essential holiday baking ingredients, like eggs, honey, and pumpkin puree.
If you are looking for something different to serve this holiday season, this bread is what you are looking for. You have your pumpkin and honey which make a sweet base. Then toss in some fresh cranberries and orange juice for a little tartness.
There are so many things you can do with this Cranberry-Orange Pumpkin Bread:
- Add vanilla or orange juice/zest to icing.
- Add in your favorite nuts.
- You can use either fresh, frozen, or dried cranberries in the batter. I chose to use fresh to combat the sweetness of the bread batter.
- Skip the icing and make an orange butter instead.
