    Blood Orange Cranberry Quickbread

    Moist, tender blood orange cranberry bread sweetened with honey and speckled with white chocolate is the perfect cold weather quick bread. My secret is soaking the dried cranberries in blood orange juice to rehydrate them and infuse extra cranberry-orange flavor.

    Cranberry orange biscotti is a delicious treat especially during the holidays, and it pairs perfectly with tea, coffee, and hot chocolate! You’re going to love the amazing crunch and flavors of cranberry, orange, cinnamon and white chocolate.
