Cranberry Orange Walnut Bread image

Coming from Oregon, a state famous for its cranberries, this bread is a given at our house. Each fall my husband and I scrounge around for walnuts to go in it. It's a regular on our table, and not just at Thanksgiving. I freeze the berries so I have a ready supply all year long. -Elaine Kremenak, Grants Pass, Oregon

Categories     Quick Breads

Time 1h10m

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups cranberries
1/2 cup light-colored mild honey
2 large navel oranges (organic so peel has no pesticides)
1 egg
4 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled
cooking spray or extra butter, for greasing pan

1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
1/2 c.coarsely broken toasted walnuts

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and butter a 9 X 5 X 3 inch loaf pan.

  • Meanwhile, peel the zest from both oranges and mince it finely, then set aside. Peel the white pith from both oranges and discard. Add the oranges to the food processor and process for three or four pulses, then transfer to the cranberry-honey mixture.
  • Add the egg to the food processor and process until it is well beaten, then add the cooled butter and process until combined.
  • Scrape the egg mixture into the cranberry mixture.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients (flour through walnuts, plus the prepared orange zest). Add the wet (cranberry) mixture to the dry ingredients and combine. Spoon and scrape the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Cool, in the pan, on a wire rack for 15 minutes, then turn out onto the rack and let the loaf cool completely. Wrap in aluminum foil and eat the following day for best flavor.

Categories     Breads

Time 1h5m

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 tablespoon orange zest
3/4 cup orange juice
1 egg
1 cup of chopped cranberries
1/2 cup of chopped nuts

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Grease bottom of 9 x 5 x 3-inch loaf pan.
  • Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda; cut in the butter until crumbly.
  • Add orange peel, orange juice and egg, and stir just until moistened.
  • Mix in cranberries and nuts; pour into prepared pan and bake 55 to 65 minutes, or until wooden toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
  • Cool completely before cutting.

Tips:

  • Prep your Cranberries: Before you start, make sure your cranberries are fresh and plump. If using frozen cranberries, thaw them completely before using.
  • Zest your Orange: Use a citrus zester or a fine grater to get the zest from the orange. This will add a wonderful citrus flavor to your bread.
  • Toast your Walnuts: Toasting walnuts enhances their flavor and gives them a nice crunch. Simply spread them on a baking sheet and toast in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your bread will taste. Look for ripe oranges and plump cranberries.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense bread. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the Bread in a Loaf Pan: A 9x5-inch loaf pan is the perfect size for this bread. If you don't have a loaf pan, you can also use a 13x9-inch baking pan, but the bread will be thinner.
  • Let the Bread Cool Completely: Before slicing and serving, let the bread cool completely. This will help it set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

This Cranberry Orange Walnut Cow Bread is a delicious and festive treat that is perfect for any occasion.
