Add flour mixture and blend at low speed until combined. Do not overmix. Fold in cranberries and pour batter into prepared loaf pans. Bake in center rack for 60 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
Poke holes in top of loaves. Add orange glaze. Orange Glaze: 1 teaspoon orange extract with 1 cup powdered sugar and 2 to 3 tablespoons water. Stir until desired consistency. To make it look like a Christmas loaf, I sprinkled green colored decorating sugar on top.
