Pumpkin and cranberry go so well together. And this bread will no doubt become a favorite for your holiday table. The sweetness of the pumpkin and tartness of the cranberry go so perfectly together don’t you think?
We love pumpkin all year long and this has become a favorite. We stock pile cans of pumpkin so we always have them on hand. They come in handy for so many different things from soups to stews, pastas and desserts.
Pumpkin can easily be mixed into a cake mix for a low calorie dessert. We make muffins out of this for breakfast all the time. They are delicious and a great grab and go breakfast.
We buy bags of cranberries and freeze them to make all sorts of desserts and our Crock Pot Cranberry Butter. The crock pot cranberry butter is so delicious smeared on this bread! You have to try it.
This bread has nuts in it but you can leave them out. We have family members who don’t care for nuts in their desserts so you make the decision.
This Cranberry Pecan Pumpkin Bread only gets better as it sits in my opinion so I would let it sit overnight and let all the flavors develop. You can of course slice a piece off the end to get a little taste just to make sure it tastes amazing. We can guarantee if your a pumpkin and cranberry lover that you will love this quick bread.
This bread is perfect for Thanksgiving or Christmas morning or brunch. Heck this bread is perfect for the dessert table. I would suggest only using fresh cranberries cut in half and not dried cranberries for this bread. The flavors will not be the same otherwise.
There is a huge difference in the flavor and texture of fresh or frozen cranberries and dried cranberries.
