Cranberry Orange Bread
Adapted from Recipe submitted to AllRecipes.com by Carol
Personal Note: While shopping during the holiday season, SmithCale and I were in our favorite section: the produce. He noticed bags of fresh cranberries and pleaded with me to make something from them. Since they were on sale I grabbed two bags and threw them in the freezer. Finally I found a cranberry worthy dessert to entice me to thaw out a bag and bake! Make two loaves and gift one to somebody, because tis the season to dole out baked goods!
Plan of Attack:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. Mix dry ingredients in a bowl
3. Mix wet ingredients
4. Combine and bake
Ingredients for 2 loaves:
4 C All-purpose flour
3 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp kosher salt
Zest of 2 small/medium oranges (might as well juice them too)
½ C fresh squeezed orange juice (see above)
1 C orange juice (maybe not so fresh squeezed)
3 C fresh cranberries
½ C unsalted butter, softened (1 stick)
2 C sugar
2 eggs
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. Grease two 9x5 loaf pans, set aside
3. In a large bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Stir in zest and cranberries
4. In another bowl (or a stand mixer), beat together butter, sugar and eggs until smooth. Add in orange juice.
5. Add in flour mixture while on a low setting (or about a ½ C at a time if doing it by hand) until just moistened
6. Pour even amounts of mixture into your two pans
7. Bake for 1 hour
8. Let cool on wire racks. De-pan after 10 minutes and allow to completely cool before covering.
9. Enjoy!
