What You Need
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 °F (180 °C). Butter a 9 x 5-inch (22 x 12-cm) loaf pan or line with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Make a well in the centre and add eggs, milk, butter and vanilla extract. Sprinkle with cranberries and almonds; stir just until combined.
Spread into prepared pan, smoothing top. Bake for 65 to 75 min or until tester inserted in centre comes out clean. Let cool in pan on rack for 10 min. Remove from pan and transfer to rack to cool completely.
Tips
Cooking Tip: *To sour milk, spoon 2 tbsp (30 mL) lemon juice or white vinegar into measuring cup; pour in enough milk to make 1-1/2 cups (375 mL). Let stand for 5 min, then stir.
For the Adventurous: Replace half of cranberries with chopped dried apricots and use hazelnuts instead of almonds.
Healthy Eating Tip: Don't deprive yourself of delicious baked goods over the holiday season. Forbidden foods will tantalize you all the more. Instead, choose modest-sized servings and savour the flavour.

Try 1/2 tbsp vanilla & 1/2 tbsp almond extract - nice flavour
Try raw macadamia nuts instead of almonds, or add chocolate chips, or poppy seeds. -

I loaf pan makes quite a large bread, so I separated the dough into 2 smaller aluminum loaf pans, and reduced cooking time. Wrapped in a tea towel and tied with rafia, it makes a nice hostess Christmas gift.
