BETSY'S LEMON-CRANBERRY BREAD
Found in a TOH magazine and clipped out to try! Boy was I ever glad I did. A lemony loaf of bread with the extra zip of dried cranberries. I've made this as a regular sized loaf and also in mini loaf sizes for gifts. I have also used walnuts and almonds in this bread and actually prefer the almonds - but use whatever nut you love. The addition of the lemon glaze just takes this bread over the top. *** Edited 11/19/09 - This recipe makes TWO 9x5x3" pans instead of one. Sorry for my error! If you want just one loaf just halve the recipe and it will work perfectly! ***

Tips:
- Use fresh or frozen cranberries for the best flavor. If using frozen cranberries, thaw them before using.
- Grate the lemon zest finely to release the maximum flavor.
- Use unsalted butter at room temperature for the best results. This will help the butter cream together with the sugar more easily.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter, more tender bread.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help prevent the batter from curdling.
- Stir in the dry ingredients until just combined. Overmixing will result in a tough bread.
- Fold in the cranberries and lemon zest. Be gentle to avoid breaking up the cranberries.
- Pour the batter into a greased and floured loaf pan. Tap the pan on the counter a few times to release any air bubbles.
- Bake the bread at 350°F for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve the bread warm or at room temperature with butter, cream cheese, or your favorite spread.
