This is a wonderful recipe for Orange Glazed Cranberry Pumpkin Bread!   It  makes two loaves.  If you are baking for Holiday gifts it really is one to get started on and put in your freezer now, so you will be ahead of the game.  Glaze it when you take it out of the freezer.

3 1/2 cups all purpose flour ,  1  2/3 cups sugar, 2 teaspoons baking soda and pumpkin pie spice,  3/4 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon baking POWDER,  1 can of whole berry cranberry sauce, 1 can 16oz. pumpkin, 3/4 cup chopped pecans,  2/3 cup vegetable oil,  and 4 fresh eggs. 

In a large bowl mix together flour, sugar, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and baking powder.   In a second bowl stir together remaining ingredients until well mixed.  Add pumpkin mixture to flour mixture and stir until all ingredients are well moistened.  Pour batter into two  9x5 greased loaf pans, and bake at 350 for 65 minutes or until  bread tests done with a wooden toothpick.  Completely cool bread and drizzle glaze over top and sides. 

Glaze:  In small bowl mix 1 cup of powdered sugar,  1/4 cup of orange juice concentrate, and 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice until smooth.  Drizzle over cooled bread.
