    this recipe seemed to have something totally off in the ingredients - it was extremely thick and difficult to work with. Baking time was closer to 1 hour and 25 minutes - and it was still underdone in the center

    LOVE LOVE this recipe! I made this a few years ago to bring to my in-laws and it was a big hit! I've made it several times since and always get rave reviews on it. I'm making it for thanksgiving brunch tomorrow so we can have something light before the feast:

    I made this bread today to take to a church potluck. It was sooo good that I made another batch before I left to pass out to neighbors. I added a few things to the recipe: I added orange zest (about a tsp. I also added a T of vanilla. Before cooking I added brown sugar and finely chopped pecans to the top to make a nice crunchy topping. EXCELLENT!

    This was a delicious bread. I substituted pumpkin for a summer squash and added walnuts. I used only cinnamon and used olive oil for the oil. I too found that it took a good 80 minutes to cook. If you divide into two pans they are relatively large loaves and take longer to cook. At 50 minutes the middle of mine were still pretty much liquid.

    Other wise this was a fantastic recipe! Thanks Bill!

    I have made this recipe for a few years now - since first watching it being made on Food Network. This has become the main bread I bake every year at Christmas time to mail to my children and family out of state. It is delicious, it freezes well, it ships well; what more can one ask for in a quick bread?! It does take some time to bake, however. The recipe will make three 8X3 inch foil pans full and takes about 80 minutes to bake. I usually make 9 loaves of this bread before Thanksgiving, wrap them in plastic wrap, over wrap that in aluminum foil, put the loaves back in the pans I used to bake them in (washed - of course!, and freeze them until I ship them along with hundreds of cookies and dozens of candies to my family the first part of December.
    I give this recipe 5 stars!

    Very moist. I used 2 1/2 cups of sugar and added the rind of 1 orange. Very quick and easy to put together. Great on a cold winter day with a hot cup of tea.

    I LOVE this recipe. I make it in muffin form all the time for my family and friends and they always ask for more! After making it a few times I have tweaked the recipe- I use 1 cup brown sugar and 3 cups regular. I usually end up adding a little more pumpkiin pie spice to taste as well. I have added walnuts and pecans in the mix and sprinkle them on top before putting them in the oven. The best part- topping off each muffin with some homemade cream cheese icing! 8oz cream softened cream cheese, and about 1c powdered sugar. Whip both together until combined and enjoy! Perfect to bring to a pot luck or dinner as desert. Also make a yummy breakfast!

    The cranberry and pumpkin flavors burst in your mouth to make your taste buds come alive. This is one of my favorite holiday breads.

    The 1st time I made this recipe followed exactly.
    The 2nd time, I had leftover baked sweet potatoes. I scooped out the sweet potatoes to get 2 cups. I used 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce and 1/2 cup of oil, used 3 cups sugar and added in 2 cups roasted walnuts. (I used halved walnuts, roast on a cookie sheet in a 350 oven for 15 mins, shake the pan every 5 mins. Definetly, use fresh whole cranberries, they add a wonderful burst of flavor. My family loves this bread,
