Orange-Zesty Cranberry Bread With Orange Glaze image

I searched high and low for a recipe that had real cranberries and orange zest in the mix, and it was harder to find than I thought it would be. This is what I came up with, and its pretty sweet, but that's how I choke the strong coffee down. :)
