Cranberry Bread.. turkey dinner

This recipe is excellent with butter or just plain.. It comes from the Kansan`s Silver Spoon cookbook of 1967. This would be good for just any occasion, not just around the holidays. Though a person might not find all the ingredients except around the holidays, ( Thanksgiving and Christmas)
