Cranberry Orange Nut Bread


This recipe comes from Matt's mother Linda a.k.a. Bigmama to her grandkids. She helped us make this bread for Christmas presents our first Christmas together. We were too poor for anything else!


2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. soda
1 cup cranberries, coarsely cut
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1 tsp. grated orange peel
1 egg, well beaten
3/4 cup orange juice
2 TBS vegetable oil

Mix 2 tablespoons of the sugar with the cranberries and set aside to sweeten. Sift dry ingredients together; stir in cranberries, nuts, and orange peel. Combine egg, orange juice, and oil and add to dry ingredients, stirring until moistened. Bake in greased 9 1/2 x 5 x 3-inch loaf pan at 350 degrees for 50 minutes. Remove from pan and let cool on rack.
