Cranberry Nut Bread

Ingredients:

• 2 cups Flour (1¾ / 235g white, ¼ / 30g whole wheat or 1½ & ½ )
• ½ tsp. Baking Powder 1½ tsp.
• ½ tsp. Salt
   
• 1 orange ⅓ to ½ Cup juice
• 2 Tbsp. butter
   
• 1 egg
• 1 cup sugar (215g) (¾ C. is enough)
   
• 1 cup chopped cranberries (4 oz)
• ½ cup chopped nuts (2 oz)

Preheat oven to 325° F

Mix the flour, baking powder and salt together.

Grate the rind of the orange and set it aside.

Squeeze the orange, and add enough boiling water to make ¾ C. total liquid, then add the orange rind and butter to the hot mix.  (melt the butter)

In a big bowl, beat together the egg and sugar.  Beat it a bunch, not just “mix”.

Add the orange mixture to the egg and sugar mix.

Add the cranberries and nuts

Mix in the flour

EXPERIMENT: Let the mixture sit for a bit (5 minutes?) to rise a bit.

Pour everything into a greased 9"x5" bread pan. (9x5 at the top, it’s a small pan)

Bake at 325°F until a knife or toothpick comes out clean.  (about 1 hour 1¼ hours )
