Adding fresh, tangy cranberries to a warm, earthy pumpkin bread laced with fall spices is the perfect baked treat to take you from fall to the festive holiday season. The spices paired with pumpkin are warm and festive: perfect for cooking and baking all season long, well beyond Thanksgiving pumpkin pie. Plus, there’s nothing more festive and holiday spirited than cranberries. Recipe courtesy of Maris Callahan from In Good Taste.
