Grandmother's Famous Cranberry Bread

2 cups sifted all-purpose flour

1 cup sugar

1½ teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon baking soda

¼ cup butter or stick margarine

1 egg, beaten

3/4 cup orange juice or apple cider

3 cup fresh or frozen cranberries, roughly chopped

Sift dry ingredients into a large bowl. Cut in butter until mixture is crumbly. Add egg and fruit juice all at once. Stir until mixture is evenly moistened. Fold in cranberries.

Spoon into a greased loaf pan, bake at 350ºF for 1 hour and 10 minutes. Cool on wire rack.

I use banana bread recipe. Just change the cup of banana to cup of cranberries, fresh, frozen, dried, chop them a bit if fresh or frozen.

If you do not want the orange zest, just leave it out. It is for flavoring and not at all necessary. I am allergic to citrus and the zest of lemon, lime or orange gives me problems. I leave it out of any recipe calling for it.

You can use a zucchini bread recipe also to the same good result.

* two cups flour, sifted * one million cup sugar * one million one million/two teaspoons baking powder * one million teaspoon salt * one million/two teaspoon baking soda * one million/four cup butter or margarine * one million egg, crushed * one million teaspoon orange zest * three/four cup orange juice * one million one million/two cups mild raisins * one million one million/two cups contemporary cranberries or frozen cranberries, chopped Directions Sift flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda right into a massive bowl. Cut in butter till blend is crumbly. Add egg, orange peel and orange juice unexpectedly. Stir simply till blend is frivolously wet. Fold in raisins and cranberries. Spoon right into a greased nine x five x three inch loaf pan. Bake at 350 F for one million hour and 10 mins or till a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out blank Remove from pan and funky on a twine rack. If you favor, you'll alternative cranberries for the raisins to have an all cranberry bread.

You can always leave out the orange rind. All it will do is reduce the orange citrus flavor in the recipe.

You can take any banana bread recipe, and substitute dried cranberries, as well as some cranberry jam, to add a little moisture.
