Yum, Yum, Yum! I searched and searched for the perfect cranberry bread recipe and Ocean Spray delivered! This is a simple yet scrumptious bread recipe. Good every time! I used canola oil instead of shortening and I used walnuts but didn't chop them up. Recipes usually call for chopped walnuts, but I actually like them unchopped maybe just broken up a bit.
INGREDIENTS:
2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup orange juice
1 tablespoon grated orange peel
2 tablespoons shortening
1 egg, well beaten
1 1/2 cups Fresh or Frozen Cranberries, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup chopped nuts
DIRECTIONS:Preheat oven to 350ºF. Grease a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan.Mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda in a medium mixing bowl. Stir in orange juice, orange peel, shortening and egg. Mix until well blended. Stir in cranberries and nuts. Spread evenly in loaf pan. Bake for 55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on a rack for 15 minutes. Remove from pan; cool completely. Wrap and store overnight. Makes 1 loaf (16 slices).

This past winter, I probably made this recipe the most! Everyone kept asking for more...and that's a good sign!
