Tis the season for all things Cranberry - really.

Thanksgiving is here.  Christmas is coming.  Cranberry bread?  Well, it's time is now.

We cut our first loaf of Cranberry/Cinnamon yesterday.  It was very nice.  The cranberries were like raisins with a slightly different taste (I used Craisins).

Today, I made a batch (about 4 pounds) of cranberry/cinnamon dough, but there will be many more.  I have a 3 pound bag of Craisins to use up.  Of course, they can go in salads, but I am targeting bread.

I read about a cranberry/rosemary bread - so I will have to try that, too.

Final result - take 10% of the flour in cranberries and add them to the water.  place both in blender to mince the cranberries. Add water with cranberries to flour.  Add another 10% of weight of flour in whole dried cranberries.  Make bread as usual.

And, add some rosemary for contrast.
