CRANBERRY-ORANGE QUICK BREAD



Cranberry-Orange Quick Bread image

This is my husband's very favorite quick bread I make, a great holiday gift, and is my most-requested at parties, especially around the holidays. It originally came from the Betty Crocker Cookbook, but I usually omit the nuts (although I love pecans with the cranberries) and have added a glaze onto it, which really seemed to give it that extra little zing. When I serve it for parties or brunches, I slice it, then cut the slices in half top to bottom; people seem satified with the smaller pieces (though they often go back for more!) and it serves more that way. I always try to keep a bag of cranberries in the freezer for just this recipe.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cranberries: Fresh cranberries have a tart and juicy flavor that is perfect for this bread. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries, but be sure to thaw them before using.
  • Chop the nuts finely: Chopping the nuts finely will help them distribute evenly throughout the bread. You can use any type of nuts you like, such as walnuts, pecans, or almonds.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the bread tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Bake the bread in a loaf pan: A loaf pan will help the bread rise evenly. If you don't have a loaf pan, you can bake the bread in a 9x13 inch pan, but it will be thinner.
  • Let the bread cool before slicing: Letting the bread cool before slicing will help it hold its shape. If you slice the bread while it is still warm, it will be more likely to crumble.

Conclusion:

This cranberry nut quick bread is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. It is moist and flavorful, with a tart and tangy cranberry flavor. The nuts add a nice crunch and texture. This bread is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. It is also a great gift for friends and family.
