Sweet Potato Bread

This is a surprise bread, bright orange with bits of tart cranberries throughout. Some people like to add ⅛ cup finely chopped pecans along with the cranberries. It is not a sweet bread, so you can serve it with dinner and for sandwiches. You can make the sweet potato puree yourself by putting fresh-baked or leftover baked sweet potatoes through a food mill or a food processor. Or you can use canned, vacuum-packed sweet potatoes. One 9-ounce can drained and mashed will yield ¾ cup.
