By á-47

Ingredients

• 2 cups sifted flour
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 3/4 tea. baking powder
• 1 tea. salt
• 1/2 tea. baking soda
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
• 1/4 cup water
• 3 Tbsp. butter, melted
• 2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
• 1 cup pecans, toasted and chopped
• 1 tea. grated orange zest

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line the bottom of an 8x4x3" loaf pan with waxed paper.

Sift the dry ingredients together into a large bowl. Make a well in the center. In a medium bowl, combine the egg, orange juice, water, and butter. Whisk to blend. Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir just until blended; the batter will be lumpy. Fold in the cranberries, nuts and orange zest. Pour into the prepare pan and smooth the top.

Bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let fool on a wire rack. Unmold and remove the paper.

Serve now, or wrap in foil and store for up to 3 days.
