Pumpkin Cranberry Bread

The smell of Fall - it is my favorite and I love to bake in the fall - anything with apples, pumpkin, breads, cookies, pies etc.  Although the temp. is still over 100 here in Phoenix, my calendar reads September, so I am in a "Fall" mood - no matter the degrees!  Now onto my recipe.

1/2 C Orange Juice
1 C Dried Cranberries

2 t Baking Soda
1 t Salt
