Cranberry Orange Bread


In the mood for a yummy bread to warm your home this cold winter day?

Try this Cranberry Orange Mini Loaf recipe. I made it in the form of muffins, for breakfast. But they'd make a great gift if you divide the recipe into individual loaf pans.

Happy Baking!

Ingredients:
2/3 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 1/2 cups sugar
3 T fresh squeezed orange juice
2 T grated lemon peel
4 eggs
3 cups all purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp salt
1 cup milk
2 cups dried cranberries
1 cup chopped walnuts

Instructions:
In a mixing bowl, cream the butter, sugar, orange juice and lemon peel. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. In another bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt; add to the creamed mixture alternately with milk.

Stir in cranberries and walnuts. Pour into four greased 5-3/4-in. x 3-in. x 2-in. loaf pans. Bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks.
