cranberry orange bread

Sift together:

2 cups sifted flour

1 1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp soda

1/2 tsp salt

1 cup sugar

Mix in thoroughly:

2 Tbs shortening (I use butter)

grated rind and juice of one orange plus fresh or frozen orange juice to make 3/4 cup

1 egg, beaten

1/2 cup chopped nuts (I like pecans)

Fold in 1 cup cranberries, cut in half

Bake in 350 degree oven for one hour.

Recipe from my best friend's Mom, Dot. Who I still miss after all these years.

This is especially yummy toasted, with a smidge of cream cheese.
