Cranberry Nut Bread

When I asked what I could bring for Thanksgiving the response was cranberry nut bread. So, I looked up some recipes and settled on one I found at Simply Recipes

• 2 cups flour
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
• 1 cup chopped cranberries

• 3/4 cup orange juice
• 1/4 cup butter, melted
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 Tbsp grated orange peel

METHOD

1 Pre-heat oven to 350°F.

2 Mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add the chopped cranberries and walnuts to coat with the flour mixture.

3 Mix together orange juice, sugar, butter, egg, and orange peel. Add to flour, cranberry, nut mixture and stir with a wooden spoon until just blended.

4 Pour into a greased 9x5 or 8x4 loaf pan. Bake at 350°F for 55 to 60 minutes or until done (a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean).

5 Cool in pan for 10 minutes. Remove from pan and cool on a wire rack.

Serves 8.

It was a good and easy recipe. However I made it with dried cranberries instead of fresh cranberries which I assume is what the recipe actually calls for.
