Breaking 2011 with bread

cranberry loaf


The baking hasn't begun over at this home, but over the New Year's, we received a bread & jam gift from a friend.

This was a festive and I suspect all-too-fattening buttery loaf of cranberry bread. Just a slight taste of tart from the berries, and cake-like softness in the crumb, this was perfectly matched when topped, just ever so lightly toasted, with even-yet-more-butter and a homemade organic Valencia marmalade gently spiced with vanilla bean & clove from the same friend.

The best post New Year's hangover recovery cure, if any.
