GFGF - cranberry Orange Walnut bread

This week in our Good Friends Good Food group our theme was Season of Blessings which gave us a choice.  I chose to make a holiday bread using the fresh cranberries that were included in my vege coop this week.  The recipe I used is below.

The recipe made two loaves so I took one to a friend and kept the other for us to enjoy.  It is an easy recipe except chopping those cranberries proved a challenge.  I did it by hand and they kept rolling off the cutting board.  Quite amusing!  This seemed like a pretty bread for the holidays!  We love anything cranberry.
