Cranberry Orange Bread repost from a dear member

[Guest guest]

This time of the year I always bake extra amounts of sweet breads.

I wanted to share Jean's recipe from our files. She paased away a few years ago

but her spirit lives on within the group and our recipe files.

I love this recipe. Give it a try sometime.

HAppy New Year, it's almost here.

Cranberry Orange Bread

 

2 cups all purpose flour (you can use 1/2 whole wheat then add more

liquid later)

3/4 cup sugar

1/2 tsp salt

1 1/2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp. baking soda

2 tbsps vegetable oil

1/4 to 1/2 cup water to loosen dough (depending on flour)

1/2 cup orange juice

1/2 tbsp. grated orange peel

1 egg or substitute

1 cup raw cranberries (you can use dried, but soak them a little first)

1/4 tsp. cloves or allspice

1/4 tsp. nutmeg

2 tsps. vanilla extract (use the real thing!)

 

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a bowl mix the dry ingredients.

Separately mix the egg sub, juice, peel, oil, and vanilla. Stir the dry into

the wet mixture a little bit at a time. I usually hand mix this recipe,

so I use a wooden spoonful at a time. Fold in the cranberries. Bake in

a greased loaf pan or small cake pan for one hour, and check with a

fork to see if it's done (i.e.: the fork will come out clean).

Note: You can also make this into muffins, but you have to really keep

your eye on it because it will significantly cut the cooking time.
