Nothing says the holidays quite like fresh cranberries and walnuts. Making fresh sweet bread this time of year not only helps fill our home with a heavenly aroma but with every bite my comfort food dreams have come true! Using Diamond of California Nuts I created a recipe that makes my dreams come true.

    I like the crunch of a nut inside a bread and the cranberries add a nice sweet and sour flavor to the bread.
