Prep Tips:

Cranberries - Find your dried cranberries in the same aisle of the grocery store as other dried fruit, such as raisins. This may either be in the snack aisle or the baking aisle. The bag of dried cranberries I had on hand were big, so I chopped them up a bit.
Nuts - I used chopped pecans, but I’m sure walnuts would work great in this recipe as well.
Storage - Keep any leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days. It also freezes well. My favorite way to enjoy the leftover pumpkin cranberry bread is this: heat some butter up in a skillet. Put a slice or two of the bread in the pan and toast on each side. This takes the taste to a whole new level!
