Preparation

Step 1

Sift together dry ingredients in a bowl and set aside. In a small bowl combine orange juice and H20, grated rind and melted shortening. Stir in beaten egg. Stir this mixture into the dry ingredients. Mix just enough to dampen. It will be a soft sticky dough.

Fold in the nuts and cranberries. Pour into a greased bread pan, spreading evenly. Make corners slightly higher than the center. For a well rounded loaf, allow the batter to stand in the pan for 20mins. before baking.
Bake @ 350o for 50 to 60 minutes or until done. Cool throughly before serving.
