Dried Cranberries

[goodgiver]

When attempting to make a quick Cranberry Bread can I used dried cranberries instead of fresh ones as the recipe says?

 

[mudbug]

sure you can! Dried cranberries are like raisins - you wouldn't think twice about using raisins in a recipe, eh?

Like I do with raisins do I need to plump them first ?

If that's what you do with raisins, go ahead. However, the moisture in your batter and the heat of the oven will do a nice job of plumping them too.
