30 mins
  1. 1dry ingredients
  2. 2 1/3 cupflour - pre sifted
  3. 1 1/2 tspbaking powder
  4. 1/2 tspbaking soda
  5. 1/2 tspsalt
  6. 1 cupsugar
  7. 1wet ingredients
  8. 1egg - slightly beaten
  9. 3 tbspsweet butter - melted
  10. 3/4 cuporange juice
  11. 1fresh ingredients
  12. 2 cuphalved freshed cranberries (don't add whole cranberries, they will burst and ruin the bread)
  13. 1 tspfresh grated lemon rind
  14. 1/2 cupchopped pecans

Cooking Instructions

30 mins
  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350° and grease a 1 1/2 quart loaf pan (5 x 9 x 2 - roughly).

  2. 2

    This recipe is not my own. It appeared in our local newspaper in 1977. After trying it this bread is a staple at Thanksgiving.

  3. 3

    Combine all dry ingredients and whisk to blend,

  4. 4

    Add orange juice, egg (slightly beaten), melted sweet butter and stir until combined. The mix will be dry.

  5. 5

    Stir in halved cranberries, lemon rind, pecans and stir mix to combine. Mixture will be sticky. Turn out into greased loaf pan.

  6. 6

    Place in center rack and bake approximately 60 - 75 minutes - or until toothpick inserted in center of bread comes out clean. Each oven is different - in my oven I had one bake in 62 minutes and another in 70 minutes. The toothpick test is the best measurement - as long as it comes out clean - you're good.

  7. 7

    Place on wire rack for 15-20 minutes, then carefully turn out bread and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

I live in the beautiful Hudson Valley Region of NY. Most recipes I make have been handed down from my familia! I love to cook them and also love to experiment using their techniques.
