Cranberry-Pumpkin Bread

November 21, 2011/ Lisa Carpenter

This has been a Thanksgiving staple in my family for years. I can remember toting it to South Dakota for the holiday festivities with Jim's family each time we celebrated there. I still have the magazine clipping of the original recipe (now faded and sporting food splotches), which apparently came from Wesson Oil as it's the only brand name noted in the ingredients. I've altered the original a tad, leaving out the chopped pecans, for one.
