Cranberry~ Pomegranate Nut Bread

Everyone brought in something for the last day of work before Thanksgiving break & I made more pumpkin seed cranberry biscotti (a HUGE hit) & this tasty bread... I tweaked the BH&G recipe a bit, using pom juice instead of their suggested orange. When I finished mixing the batter, it was LAVENDAR colored! Beautiful, but funny! Ha! It smelled delicious baking & turned out a gorgeous carmel color. The bread was moist & sweet, a nice treat!

I hope you & your families have the most wonderful Thanksgiving! We'll be watching the parade on tv in the morning & Gabriel & I will be out walking beforehand. Then more baking & getting together for eating & laughter with family. Be safe & make those memories.
