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.

DH's favorite quick bread!
Here is another step that I use.
Soon as bread is removed from oven: Remove from pan, rub stick butter over top, sprinkle top lightly with sugar, wrap in wax paper, place in refrigerator for 3 hours, rewrap with fresh wax paper.
I also use the juice from the orange that I used for the orange rind to create the 3/4 cup OJ.
If using mini loaf pans bake 30-35 minutes.

I will have to make one and take it out to my brothers for a tasting review this week end. I do the majority of the baking for the holidays and my brother is our official taster.So I am always looking for new recipes to go with our long time favorites.
