TWD/BWJ: Cranberry-Walnut Pumpkin Loaves



Seems like EONS ago that I made this bread. Picture dates say Oct 6 and 7 which was a few days late to begin with. So I'm only 2 weeks past the "official" baking date posting this.

Guess I'm not one of those competitive bakers waiting for midnight to hit so I can be first to post my link, LOL!



At least I'm trying to keep up.




Life's been a little overwhelming lately, so I count this as an accomplishment. Yesterday was my husband's second chemo treatment.

So far, so good. Let's get this done.






Truth be told, I don't think I'll make this bread again. Must confess that I have an intense affection for nice, sweet, easy pumpkin nut quick breads. Held hostage to my unrefined palate. And after a week-long search for fresh cranberries, I didn't like them in the bread. Too sour for me. The Craisins that I used were good though.  So I'll probably add them to my next quick bread...

The recipe for this 2-day yeasted bread can be found here, and other baker's links are here.

Now I can share the other shoe we saw just outside Tuskegee, Alabama this summer... a loafer!

  1. Ha, a loafer! Your bread looks good. I won't be making this again either - my quick bread is so much better and "quicker"! Hoping that the second chemo went well. Sending positive thoughts your way.

  4. I used frozen cranberries and they worked great. I agree this was a lot of work, but I really did like it. Your loaves are beautiful. Sending positive thoughts for continued uneventful chemo treatments.
