HOLIDAY CRANBERRY NUT BREAD

When I get into the kitchen making these good smelling breads it puts me in the Holiday Spirit. I enjoy taking some bread loaves to visit friends and gather around their table with a cup of coffee. This is an attractive bread. I like several different breads. To take a loaf when you visit really adds to the conversation.
