Posted on by

Cranberry Pecan Bread is a perfect holiday bread that we serve at Thanksgiving but is wonderful for any occasion. This recipe makes two-loaves to enjoy one now and freeze one for later! It warms up nicely in the oven or microwave and can be enjoyed on its own, with butter or jelly!! Plus it is great to have another recipe to use those fresh cranberries that tend to get thrown away!
