I'll probably die from this stuff, but three years ago I endeavored to make raisin bread and I couldn't stop until now.

curious that you put cranberries in your bread....I’ve been adding a can of whole cranberries into my banana bread the last few times, to give it another good nutrious addition but also it looks and tastes nice....
