Cranberry Nut Bread
A couple of nights ago, I was in the chat room and we got talking about baking. I mentioned this recipe and immediately three people wanted it. I thought maybe someone else would like to have it as well.
CRANBERRY NUT BREAD
2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
¼ cup shortening
¾ cup orange juice
1 teaspoon grated orange rind
1 egg, well beaten
½ cup chopped nuts
1 cup coarsely chopped fresh cranberries
Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl. Mix in egg, orange juice, rind, and shortening.
Fold in cranberries, and nuts. Bake in a greased loaf pan at 350* for one hour or 325* if using a glass pan.
When I made this a couple of weeks ago, I checked it with a toothpick sometime before the hour and it was already done. You may want to keep an eye on it as some ovens are faster.
