I really enjoy the light sweetness of this recipe. While dried cranberries would work, I think I prefer the cut fresh ones. They add a moistness and being baked seems to calm the berry to a slight tartness.I also like the combo of lime with strawberry, or lemon and blueberry as well as orange with cranberry. Poor grapefruit....Grapefruit and pineapple! All wonderful pick me ups for any winter month. I made this into muffins and used up some leftover walnuts and almonds instead of pecans.

Beating the butter and sugar together creates air pockets that contribute to the lightness of the bread.You might want to take a look at Cooking Light magazine. Their recipes are very low in fat. I actually wrote for them for years. All the best...Susan Chilli, unfortunately that won’t work in this recipe.

Just saw this extremely tempting recipe-I love it; I can (just) taste the sweet and tart cranberries, the moist rich crumb of the loaf, the tantalizing crunch of the pecans... But I want to bake this for someone who is extremely diet conscious and I want to ask if it is possible to replace the butter quotient with the yoghurt. Will it work? Hello!

Did you try cutting it with a serrated knife? hi Jenna. The bread is quite moist (which I love), but I don’t recall it being particularly crumbly. Did you try cutting it with a serrated knife?
