This traditional Thanksgiving contribution is essential! Pam even bought a special pan to make four cute little loaves at once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1 cup white sugar
\u00bd teasp. salt
\u00bd teasp. baking soda
1 \u00bd teasp. baking powder
2 cups flour<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1 orange, juiced, and grated rind
2 Tblsp. shortening (I use butter)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1 egg unbeaten
1 cup cranberries
chopped nuts (recipe doesn\u2019t say. I sometimes use walnuts, sometimes pecans. \u00bd cup?)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Preheat oven to 350. Grease a loaf pan.
Mix dry ingredients together.
Put juice and orange rind in measuring cup. Add the shortening, then fill cup to \u00be mark with boiling water. Add to dry mixture.
Add unbeaten egg, cranberries and chopped nuts. Don\u2019t overmix.
Bake at 350 degrees in greased pan for 1 hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let stand 24 hours before slicing. (That\u2019s a joke. We eat one of the loaves right away.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The recipe expects a typical loaf pan. I have a set of 4 mini loaf pans barred together, so I make a double recipe and get 4 – one to eat right away, one to start on the next morning, one to serve for our lovely guests, and another for whoever needs to eat more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019ve played with brown sugar. I don\u2019t dare use whole wheat flour (for the intended audience). I\u2019ll save that for the pumpkin fig bread, which is also on the tumblr blog.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
