Holiday Season Cranberry Bread
By: - Carla -
Oct 8, 1999
We always have a lot of people visiting during the holiday season and it's always nice to have a little something homemade on hand to offer. This bread is nice to give away as gifts during the holidays. Delicious plain, with butter or with cream cheese (<-- my personal favorite). Thank you mom for this recipe. 
SERVES 8 , 1 loaf or 2 half loaves
Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 egg, well beaten
- 2 cups fresh cranberries, halved
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
Directions
1
Sift flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and soda into large bowl and set aside.2
Add 2 tablespoons melted butter to 3/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice.3

Turn into (greased and floured) 9 x 5 x 3 inch loaf pan.7

This recipe freezes very well - I usually wrap first in Saran Wrap, then wrap it in aluminum foil and then place in zip-lock bags - I generally take out of the freezer the night before serving, if possible.10
Delicious plain or with butter or cream cheese spread on it.

I was going to post my recipe for cranberry bread until I saw this one- it is the same, except mine has orange zest in it (as another reviewer added). I make it to give away to other teachers at the school where I work. It is always a big hit. My one year old baby LOVES this bread. For him, I make it without nuts since he is not having them yet.

Boo, nut haters! The walnuts in here make this loaf awesome. I only had 1 c. of fresh cranberries, so instead I microwaved 3/4 c. dried ones with 2 Tbsp. brandy & water to cover for 1 min. I also added 1 Tbsp. orange zest, which went well.

This is a wonderful holiday bread. I make it every year and give some of the loaves to my close friends and neighbors who look forward to this special treat. It is especially delicious served with a hot cup of Christmas tea.

I made this yesterday and just had my first piece tonight. It is everything that orange cranberry bread should be and with only 2 tablespoons of butter! As an aside, I omitted the nuts- just a personal preference.
