I’ve made these twice and while delicious both times, they were also slightly to undeniably blue both times. Still a great recipe, but sometimes needs an explanation

The finished product was shockingly good. I was so itching to try it, but didn’t want to deface my loaf before photographing it. As always happens though, I had to pick and rearrange while shooting, and all the little spare bits ended up in my mouth. I was stunned. This bread is amazing. It tastes like…red wine, but at the same time it doesn’t taste like red wine. Think of it this way: all of the flavors in red wine that could potentially be tasty in a baked good, i.e., the richness, fruitiness, that light tang…those are in there. The stuff you don’t want to taste, i.e., alcohol, is all gone. It’s all very nicely complimented by the cranberries, nuts and orange zest. It’s a flavor arrangement you never knew you needed in life. Now you do. Enjoy :)
