APRICOT CRANBERRY BREAD

Apricot Cranberry Bread image

I was making cranberry bread one day and wanted to try something a little different. I found a jar of apricot jam in the refrigerator and decided to spoon the jam into the center of the bread. It looked lumpy, so I took a knife and cut the jam into the bread. The end result was delicious. -Diane Roth, Milwaukee, Wisconsin
