Sweet Potato, Cranberry and Apple Bread

What You’ll Need

1 1/2 C. mashed sweet potatoes (I used 1 large potato)

1/2 C. dried cranberries

1/3 C. shortening

1/2 C. sugar

2 large eggs

1 3/4 C. sifted self rising flour

1/4 tsp. cinnamon

1 medium apple, any kind, peeled and grated

How to Make It

Place the cranberries in a bowl and cover with warm water, let stand for 10 minutes and drain.

In a mixing bowl, beat together the shortening and sugar until well combined. Beat in the eggs, one at a time.

Beat in the flour and mashed sweet potatoes, alternating as you add to the mixing bowl.

Add the cinnamon and beat for 1 minute.

Stir in the drained cranberries and grated apple.

Spray a 9×5 loaf pan with cooking spray and pour the batter into the pan, spreading it out to make it even.

Bake in a 350 degree oven for 40-45 minutes.

Allow to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before turning it out onto a plate or cooling rack.
