Ingredients
  

For the Loaf:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries finely chopped

For the Cranberry Swirl:

  • 1/2 cup cranberry sauce homemade or canned
  • 1 tablespoon sugar optional, for added sweetness

Instructions
 

  • Rinse and Sort: Begin by rinsing the cranberries under cool water. Then, sort them out. Get rid of any soft, bruised, or discolored ones.
  • Dry Thoroughly: Use a clean paper towel or cloth to dry the cranberries. This step is key to avoiding extra moisture in your mix.
  • Consider Pre-Cooking: To add more flavor, lightly cook the cranberries with sugar and water. This makes them softer and more tart.
  • Chop or Leave Whole: You can chop the cranberries or leave them whole. Chopping them spreads them out more evenly in the loaf.
