I make cranberry nut bread every year at the holidays. I squeeze my oranges after zesting. My bread calls for a glaze. I use orange juice & zest for the glaze. It's delicious. I can't wait to to try it with the craisins. No more chopping up cranberries 😸 Thank you for the time saving tip.
Tip about flouring the fruit and nuts really works, do same for choc chips or anything else I add. Whenever I add a dried fruit to something though, I always rehydrate first. So boil a little cranberry juice, take off burner, dump in cranberries, stir, let sit 15 min, drain, pat dry and then proceed as normal. The fruit is moist and larger, not dry and hard bits. Merry Christmas!😊
Absolutely hydrate any dried fruit. If a recipe doesn't call for the juice of whatever zest it calls for I substitute the juice for the liquid it does call for.
I saved this to my favorites, and it will be made for Christmas table. I am all about sweets, and citrus as well, so to go over the top, how about some orange flavored cream cheese icing. Thank you so much for this recipe, I love it. P.S. I shared to my FB feed.
Oh my, great minds think alike. We talked about a frosting for the top after we finished this video. The bread is great by itself, but the frosting would definitely be an over-the-top move! Especially for those of us who like sweet in the morning. Have a great night. And thank you so much for joining us at the table.
I make amish bread/friendship bread. I usually make it 3-4 times in the winter and another time or two if I run out. I start two starters and bake all of it which makes me making 16 loaves at a time. Orange cranberry is one of my favorites.. This is going to be a good recipe 😃🙏🏻Put you some butter on that beautiful bread 😋
Cranberries can be really sour, you're right. We like the craisins instead for that reason. Thanks so much for watching our channel and have a great night!
I read in a cookbook once that it takes about 60 strokes to completely break up egg yolks. In addition to your cooking, Melissa is a wonderful partner with you (and as your life partner) and an amazing filming and editing technician. 🇨🇦🇨🇦
I have never made cranberry nut bread, but when you said you add orange zest, i thought yum I'm definitely going to make this bread. Thanks for the recipe. God bless you and your family 🧡
We hope you enjoy it. The zest really adds a nice flavor to the bread we think. Thanks so much for watching our channel and we hope you have a nice weekend.
Hello Tom and Melissa. This is such a nice and easy recipe that combines together so well. I love the amendment you made with the cranberries. That is such a great idea to use Crainsins (Dried cranberries) in the recipe. Thanks for the tip on using all purpose flower to lightly coat the Crainsins and Pecan pieces. I still love those baking loaf pans you use. I'm definately going to make this recipe with the help of my grandaughter. She will enjoy making this (and I'm sure eating it, too) 😋 Thanks again and have a blessed day. 🥰
Thank you so much. We think this is a great bread. Of course, how can you really go wrong with bread?! We are definite fans! Thank you so much for watching our channel and joining us at the table.
Those muffins sound delightful. This is probably close to the same taste. What a great way to wake your family on Christmas morning - the lovely aroma of fresh baked bread! Have a great weekend.
This Cranberry Nut Bread recipe looks so delicious 😋Mr. Tom. I've always found it so interesting and fun when you make a certain recipe like this one and you don't have the specific ingredients that it calls for you to use, you can make substitutions by modifying the recipe to make it taste like you want it to.
This is a very tasty bread. Moist and very "orangey" and the cranberries are soft and tart. But, man is it sweet. I'll be making this again for a catered breakfast later this week and will try cutting the sugar back. 3 cups is a lot. However, I did get 3 loaves from the batter. Our pans are not flared like yours. Our sides are straight, clear, glass Pyrex. The bread is best left to cool before cutting. It's very tender. I know because I couldn't wait to try it and had to use a spoon! LOL It smells so good while baking.
Another recipe to add to my wonderful recipes I have of yours, Now ut us time to get started on baking cookies and candy for Christmas!! Thank you for adding recipes to our Thanksgiving table. Y'all are Awesome!!! God bless you and your family.
Thank so much for your kind words. We are actually going to have a "Twelve Days of Christmas" series starting December 1st of candy and other goodies to make and enjoy and share with family and friends this year. It will be twelve straight days of recipes we hope will make your holiday baking fun for you (and anyone you are kind enough to share the treats with! 😊) Please be on the lookout for those videos coming soon!
@@comesitatmytable9044 I will be looking forward to the treats recipes. I love your crinkle lemon cookies and have it as one I am definitely going to make. Thank you for the recipes! You both are a blessing to me and my partner through cooking! In fact he found you first and introduced me to y'all videos and I am hooked. May God continue to bless you and your family always. 🤗🥰🙏🙏🙏
I made this recipe today. It was delicious. I didn't have pecans, so I used walnuts. I will make it again. I am sharing this great recipe with my friends. Thank you for sharing.
I’m sure you’ve got a winner of a recipe. I’ve tried several of your recipes and they are delicious. Thank you Tom and Melissa for sharing your wonderful memories through food. And keep them coming!
Whatever the original recipe you had, this sounds wonderful and I'm glad you made the changes! I can almost smell it. I really like breads of all kinds, and I love the "heel" as we always called the end piece, If I lived near you, I could take care of all those end pieces you don't care for! Yummmmm!
Looking forward to making this bread. I use craisins often. Oh, I made your cranberry sauce yesterday. It was easy and so delicious. Might have to make another batch early next week. Thanks!
I’ve tried making this bread after washing your video, it turned out absolutely beautiful, my husband can’t stop eating it it. Thank you very much. Maggie and Chris from Vancouver, Canada
👏👏👏👏♥️👏♥️👏👏👏👏 WISE DECISION…I AGREE THAT 1/2 CUP OF OIL IS ENOUGH AND CHOOSE TO ADD 1/2 CUP OF APPLESAUCE WITH EXCELLENT RESULTS…FAMILY LOVES IT ♥️ THANK YOU, Diane
Oooh... this looks and sounds like it would be so yummy! 😋 I love anything with cranberries especially this time of year. Looking forward to trying this new recipe . 👍😊🍞
Just found your channel about a month ago. Have watched many of the videos. I am always telling myself, this guy has all the good recipes lol. Watched your Baklava video today and you spoke about towns in the Summerville area. That explains it all! I grew up on a cattle farm near Ansted. Even our heritage is similar. Mine in all English on my mom’s side and Scottish and German on my Dad’s. Happy holidays to your family. Keep sharing those recipes. I’m watching!
I too have just discovered their channel, just about a month or so. But I also discovered that they have a lot of older posts. It’s been so fun trying to catch up.
I love your videos! My sister was here from Virginia and we made your delicious Mac and Cheese! I shared with my neighbor as the recipe made a huge amount! Gosh it was good! I’m sending my sister your Christmas goodies videos!
I do, too. Tom is more a fan of the middle (especially if it's a teeny bit gooey) but I love the crunchy end pieces. Thanks so much for watching our channel. We really appreciate it.
Another winner! A must on my list to bake before I go back to the "no sugar-high proteins" way of life - AFTER Christmas and the holidays. haha! Thanks Tom and Melissa! So enjoy your videos and recipes.
We always used to make cranberry orange muffins with Craisins. But this year we tried whole fresh cranberries, LOVED that little pop of tartness. Thanks for sharing yours.
Thank you Tom and Melissa this recipe looks delicious and I’ll be making it! I make a candied Cherry and candied pineapple with chopped pecans and j use a boxed spice cake and mix per the box instructions adding in the cherries, pineapple and chopped pecans and I bake it in a Bundt pan greased and tube with soft butter and sprinkled granulated sugar all inside the Bundt pan snd on the tube , I lay 1/2 a pecan in each large scallops and 1/4 of a pecan in the smaller scallops in bottom of pan which forms a wreath on top of the cake when removed from pan ! I bake at 350 for between 50-69 minutes or until cake is pulling away from the pan and a toothpick comes out clean! Let cool on rack gif about 5 minutes then gently shake the pan from side to side to loosen then put a cake plate over the pan snd flip the cake out, let cake cool completely then wrap foil around cake and folding under cake plate ! Cake will stay moist for several days wrapped this way , even after it’s cut, but after about 3-4 days I either put in fridge or slice it and wrap each piece in Saran Wrap and put all the pieces in a freezer baggie and freeze and take out slices as needed to defrost a few minutes or put in micro wave fir a few seconds ! This cake is delicious just as a snack , a dessert or with morning coffee for breakfast , I’ve been making this cake for over 50 yrs since I made the recipe up and make it every holiday because everyone loves it , so I buy extra candied cherries and candied pineapple every year to have extra all year long!! God bless ❤️🙏🙋🏻🌈🌈
I love Cranberry Orange bread and yours looked delish! I could smell it and my mouth was watering. LOL The little round ramekin bread turned out beautifully, and I thought what nice gifts it would make to put all the batter in individual ramekins to bake! Wrapped up in festive cellophane paper with a ribbon and tag.....perfect gifts for any occasion! Enjoyed your video as always! :) ~~M~~
My mother always made cranberry bread for gifts for teachers, the mailman, and family friends. I can't tell you how many pounds of cranberries I cut, she would make 20 or 30 regular size loafs and 50 to 60 mini loafs. The first Christmas after she passed I tried to make a few loafs, they didn't cook in the middle.
I have so much fun reading your shirts lolol. Kinda as much as waiting for the recipe. "I wonder what his shirt will say today." Lolol have a blessed day
I just love this bread. I made it & everyone that had some just loved it. I will absolutely make it again, many more times. I want all gamily & friens to taste it. Thank you for sharing your delicious recipes.❤
Looks really good. The ends are my favorite part of homemade breads. I even like the ends in store bought bread, although they're usually not great for sandwiches. I save those for sopping up sauces from Italian food.
Thank you so much for being at our table. We love that you are enjoying some of our recipes. Please keep watching. Our blueberry series starts within an hour.
Good morning Tom and Melissa, lovely video, so homely and the kitchen looks real cosy. The bread baked beautifully and I am sure it tasted great. What a pleasure and privilege to eat and enjoy. The orange would add great flavour, they work well together cranberries and oranges plus the nuts is a bonus. Thank you for showing and sharing. Many blessings happy day. Kind regards, Elize
I am new to your channel & I am really enjoying it. Made the turkey dressing & itbwas wonderful. I will absolutely continue making from now on. Thanks Just washednthe cranberry nut bread video & I will absolutely try it, LORD willing tomorrow. I already shared site. You are absolutely great. Thank you for sharing your recipes with us. God bless.
I am very excited about trying this recipe, it sounds so good. I have mini bread pans that I would like to use for Christmas gifts. Thank you both so much.
