Good bread to make for Thanksgiving or Christmas.

1 (8 oz.) package cream cheese, softened

1 cup butter, room temperature

1 1/2 cups granulated sugar

1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla

4 eggs

2 1/4 cups sifted unbleached all purpose flour

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

2 cups fresh cranberries

1/2 cup chopped walnuts

TOPPING:

1 1/2 cups sifted confectioner’s sugar (icing sugar/powdered sugar)

2 tablespoons milk

Blend together cream cheese, butter, granulated sugar, and vanilla until light. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually add 2 cups of the flour sifted with baking powder. Toss remaining 1/4 cup flour with cranberries and nuts, and fold into batter. Pour into 2 well greased 9-inch loaf pans and bake in preheated 350 F. oven for 1 hour and 20 minutes.

Combine confectioners’ sugar and milk, and drizzle over bread while still warm. Yield: Two 9-inch loaves.
