I have been making this bread for years, and I can't remember where I got the recipe. I think it was on the Food Network. Anyway, the combination of tart cranberries and sweet pumpkin bread is really REALLY good! Oh, and it makes your home smell divine! No need for those scented candles the day you bake this. This time I made the recipe into 2 loaves (smaller ones) and 9 mini loaves in my new Demarle flexipan (So I could share with my neighbors). I keep fresh cranberries in my freezer--so I always have them on hand when I feel the need to bake this! This bread freezes great. Enjoy!

4 eggs
2 cups pumpkin puree
1 cup vegetable oil
4 cups sugar
4 ½ cups flour
2 Tbsp pumpkin pie spice
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
4 cups cranberries, fresh ( I chop in food processor)
Preheat oven to 350
In a bowl combine eggs, pumpkin puree and oil. Add dry ingredients and mix well. Add cranberries and mix well. Divide dough into 2 big loaf pans, and 1 small one . Bake for 50 minutes.
Those look divine! I've never had the combination before, but I bet it's awesome! What a good neighbor you are to take some to share! I can imagine it makes your house smell so good!!!
