I am sure that is delicious. But even if it weren't, it's enough just to sit there looking beautiful. Look at the color and texture!
Thanks for stopping in at Cranberry Morning. 🙂

Our daughter left a bag of cranberries in our refrigerator when she visited and I was not sure what to do with them. Now I know. Thank you so much!

Like Barbara's, my cranberry bread includes orange (juice and zest). I think that the addition of apricot jam sounds wonderful! Another recipe to try… 😀
