We grow plenty of sweet potatoes, so I try to use them in different ways. Slices of this bread, studded with dried cranberries and nuts, are especially tasty served with the citrusy cream cheese spread.

I've tried this recipe a few times and I can never get it right. The bread always comes out dense and gummy.
