In a pressure cooker, sweet potatoes are prepared and then glazed with an orange-brown sugar mixture. These go great with grilled or roasted chicken and green beans with a southern flair.

Hi I made muffins Instead my husband loves Muffins I did use dried cranberries added orange juice with cranberries added 3 tablespoons sour cream I came out wonderful
Excellent! I like that it wasn’t too sweet. Easy to follow instructions. I had to add a 1/4 cup more juice to the batter and topped it with an orange glaze. It turned out absolutely amazingly delicious. The family loved it!
Made this into muffins and a loaf. Added 3Tbsextra butter, softened) and twice the orange zest cuz we like it that way. Whip butter and 1 1/2 cup extra sugar,, then beat egg innto that. Slowly stir in flower (don’t overmix) Very yummy, will make again for holidays, not just winter, Easter too.
I love the taste of cranberry and orange, and the balance of those is pleasing in this bread. As others suggested, I doubled the amount of cranberries, used 1C of orange juice, added 1/2t of cinnamon, substituted vegetable oil for the butter, and used chopped pecans instead of walnuts. It was easy to double the recipe and freeze one of the delicious loaves for later.
Everyone loved it and so easy to make!!! Like others recommended I added a cup of sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and I added 1/4 cup of fresh Orange juice from the orange I used for the zest. Yummy
Good flavor but too dry. I would say cook less than 50 minutes. I now read the comments and agree that more cranberries would be good and maybe more orange juice as the batter was very thick.
I have never made Orange Cranberry Bread before. This turned out very well, and my family loved it. It is bursting with flavor and has a good texture. I put an orange glaze over the top – I just mixed a little orange juice with confectioners sugar until the desired consistency. I had a little more than a cup of cranberries so used all of them. One thing I would change in the future would be to melt the butter before incorporating into the mixture – cubed butter was hard to blend in.
absolutely the best I have ever made!! I made mini loaves and glazed them with an orange glaze while still warm and there are no words to describe the delicious treat these were… All Recipes never fails to produce the greatest of recipes… always has been and always will be my go to site . I did chop my cranberries in my food processor and added , I like them chopped rather than whole.
So easy, so good!
Followed the steps all the way just used thawed out frozen cranberries. Turned out very good. Bread texture just right and it was delicious. Will make again thank you
All of the Allrecipes for breads come out amazing and SO simple. I do this one, also banana walnut, peanut butter chocolate, carrot raisin, zucchini walnut, etc. Just use your imagination. Marshmallow, chocolate chips, various nuts, brown sugar and more have been used in my concoctions all with great success
My mom would always make this for us kids.. We never turned this down… Now I make it for my sisters and kids…
I’ve been making this recipe for years, baking it throughout the fall and winter months. As other reviewers have noted, it was a little dry, so I double the amount cranberries, use the zest of 2 oranges, and if the batter seems a little too thick, add a little extra orange juice. It comes out great every time, and always get rave reviews!
This was amazing! Super moist. Note I made a few changes: I used sunflower oil instead of melted butter; I used half spelt flour and half AP; and I added about a tsp of cinnamon and omitted the vanilla. I did opt to add walnuts. The whole family loved this bread and I will definitely make again. Thank you!
This bread is the absolute best I have ever made and I am a pastry Chef. Well I was for a bit. You can’t mess this recipe up. So easy so taste. I mixed it up with 1 tsp of ginger and 1 tsp of vailla. Love!
Instead of making the bread, I made 12 muffins and a mini-loaf. I made one change: I increased the orange juice from 3/4 cup to 1 cup. I used toasted pecans because that’s what I had on hand. I used Craisins instead of fresh cranberries because the recipe didn’t specify which to use, so I don’t count that as a change. They were moist and tasty. Not overly tart or sweet. I froze some and just had one after microwaving for 30 seconds on high. Still moist and tasty. My husband wants me to make this again. This recipe is definitely a keeper. Thanks for sharing.
Made this recipe and it was so dry, won’t use it again!
I made the bread and added the exrtra orange juice but ir was still dry
Great recipe! After reading reviews I used one cup of orange juice. I also made a glaze of powered sugar and orange juice. Bread was moist and sliced nicely. I only baked my first loaf without walnuts for 50 minutes. My second loaf with walnuts took about 5 ton7 minutes longer. Hubby loved it, so it’s a keeper recipe.
DO NOT WAIT 60 MINUTES, LET ALONE 75! Probably a good recipe otherwise and I will try again and monitor ALOT more closely.
I made this today! Read the reviews first and decided to use 1 cup of OJ and used half a cup of brown sugar instead of 3/4 a cup of white sugar. I also used 1/8 a cup of butter and about 1/4 a cup of buttermilk. I also used dried cranberries and did not have any nuts to add. I baked it in a 9×5 pan for almost an hour. It turned out delicious!!
