Cranberries. They are arguably the quintessential flavor of Thanksgiving. For all the debate over homemade or jellied cranberry sauces, the way I like my cranberries is in bread, and this one has been a family favorite for years.
Anna Thomas, author of Vegetarian Epicure Books I and II, was the force behind the recipe I end up baking at least once every year. Originally published in 1972, the books are still available. If you are vegetarian or vegetarian curious, these books should be part of your library.
The recipe for Cranberry Orange Bread is from Vegetarian Epicure II – page 46 to be exact. It’s a not-too-sweet, moist quick bread that is delicious not only on Thanksgiving Day, but any day of the year.
