Cranberry bread recipe, made with fresh chopped cranberries, melted butter, orange juice and zest, and chopped pecans or walnuts.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped pecans or walnuts
  • 2 cups fresh chopped cranberries
  • grated zest and juice if 1 orange
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1 egg, beaten

Preparation:

In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, nuts, and chopped cranberries. With a wooden spoon, mix until ingredients are blended. Combine the orange zest, juice, and butter with enough water to make 3/4 cup. Beat in the egg. Pour over dry ingredients and mix just until all ingredients are dampened.

Spoon batter into a greased and floured 9x5-inch loaf pan. Bake in a preheated 350° oven for about 60 to 70 minutes, or until a wooden pick or cake tester inserted in center comes out clean. Cool on rack. Wrap airtight to store for up to 1 week, or freeze.

Great recipeMarch 10, 2009By FLBaker
"Made this bread with frozen cranberries & walnuts (instead of pecans) for a luncheon. It was a big hit. Even my husband (who claims not to like cranberries) enjoyed it. Also freezes well. Will definitely make this bread again."
