Ingredients
- 2 cup flour
- 1 cup sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 2 tablespoons hot water
- 2 teaspoons grated orange rind
- ½ cup orange juice
- 1 cup chopped cranberries
- 1 tablespoon Cranberry or Orange Liquor , optional
Instructions
- 1 large Pyrex loaf pan 325 1 hour or 2 small 45 min.
- I mixed the dry ingredients (flour through baking powder). When I measured the flour I used the spoon & sweep method.
- I then blended the wet ingredients (egg through orange juice) together well and then carefully mixed the dry (including the cranberries and walnuts)into the wet ingredients until just moist. Baked as instructed.
Notes
I sometimes add a bit of Boggs cranberry liqueur. I have also made it with pears and hazelnuts. The aroma when you take the pan out of the oven is heavenly. I am eating some now.
