When you say orange peel what exactly do you mean am I suppose to zest it.

Hi Pamela,

Use a microplane or other grater to finely grate the orange portion (leave out the white, or the "pith" because it's bitter).

Substituted orange juice for milk. Made a glaze out of OJ and powdered sugar to drizzle. Really good bread!

I have this in the oven now. I made a couple of changes, used 1/2 cup brown sugar (1/2 c white) and substituted Half the cranberries with dried cherries. It's what I had on hand. I know its going to taste as good as it smells!
