Glazed Cranberry Orange Loaves

I love to make this recipe in my 4 mini loaf pan from Pampered Chef, but you could make it in two reg. glass bread dishes too.  These are fabulous any time of year, but make fantastic gifts to give to a hostess, neighbor, mailman, etc over the Thanksgiving-Christmas holidays.
