It's that time of year again where fresh cranberries can be found everywhere. Nanny (my great grandma on my dad's side of the family) use to make Cranberry Orange bread every year during the holidays. The bread is completely addicting and too good not to share! It also makes a wonderful gift for neighbors and friends.

• 1 cup sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 cup butter
• 1 egg
• The zest of one orange
• 3/4 cup orange juice
• 3/4 cup orange juice
• 1 cup cranberries
• 1/2 cup nuts (optional)
Directions

ReplyDeleteCookies are done by the way. I had a perfect dozen but when i set them to cool, my darling roommate awoke from a nap and thought i was recipe testing. The text "the cookies came out great" resulted in a dramatic and slow motion of me running into the kitchen screaming Nooooooo as she finished her 2nd cookie. So im sending 10 cookies... plus something awesome. :-) and my roommate sends her sincerest apologies LOL

I picked a good day to stop by. That looks fabulous. I'm sorry I have been away for so long. You would not believe how busy I've been. The semester is coming to an end and I've been swamped with schoolwork. I am going to find time to make this bread though.
