CRANBERRY NUT LOAF

My love of food and baking and cooking was inherited from my mother. She used things that she had leftover whenever possible to make a meal, for example a stew, or a dessert,and in-season fruit. We always had a wonderful aroma in the kitchen, and she had a flair for decorating the house,for example: when the doctor came to make...

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1 whole orange, squeeze the juice out, and grate the rind
2 Tbsp butter
1 egg,beaten
1 c sugar
1 c chopped raw cranberries
2 c flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
boiling water
1 c walnuts

Steps:

1. Mom's handwritten 3X5 card, for Cranberry Nut Loaf. Directions from an old cookbook: Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Butter a loaf pan.
2. Apparently she remembered many things,so there are no instructions for order to mix this, or the oven temperature!
3. My old standby cookbook, The Fannie Farmer Cookbook, instructions say:Grate the rind and squeeze out the juice and add enough boiling water to make 3/4 cup. Add the orange rind and the butter and stir to melt the butter.
4. In another bowl, beat the egg and add the sugar, beating well. Add remaining ingredients and orange mixture and blend well.
5. Place batter in buttered loaf pan, bake 1 hour. Remove and cool completely.

Tips:

Choose fresh cranberries. Fresh cranberries are a key ingredient in this loaf, so make sure to use the best ones you can find. Look for cranberries that are plump, bright red, and free of blemishes.
Chop the nuts finely. The nuts in this loaf add texture and flavor, but you don't want them to be too big. Chop them finely so that they're evenly distributed throughout the loaf.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the loaf tough. Mix it just until the ingredients are combined.
Bake the loaf until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This is the best way to tell if the loaf is done baking. If the toothpick comes out with batter or crumbs attached, the loaf needs to bake longer.
Let the loaf cool before slicing it. This will help the loaf hold its shape and prevent it from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Cranberry Nut Loaf is a delicious and easy-to-make quick bread that's perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. It's also a great way to use up leftover cranberries. With its moist and flavorful crumb, this loaf is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
