- Preheat the oven to 350°F, and grease a 9 x 5 - inch loaf pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Set aside.

EASY ORANGE CRANBERRY GLAZE
A good, easy, yummy glaze that can be used on chicken or turkey. I came up with this a few years ago for Thanksgiving, to change up the old boring turkey. Everyone loved it. There was no left-over turkey that year.

CRANBERRY ORANGE BREAD WITH ORANGE BUTTER GLAZE
I came up with this recipe myself. I hope you like it. It isn't as sweet as some quick breads because of the cranberries, but I like the tartness. Let me warn you, though. It smells really good fresh out of the oven, but PLEASE let it sit overnight in the refrigerator before trying it. When it is still warm, but flavors haven't blended and it is extremely tart. The longer it's allowed to sit, the better it gets. We had this for Thanksgiving and I received several compliments on it. Prep time is an estimate. Enjoy!

Tips:
- Choose ripe, juicy oranges. This will ensure that your bread has a bright, citrusy flavor.
- Zest the oranges before juicing them. This will release the essential oils from the peel, which will give your bread a more intense orange flavor.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense bread. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the bread at a moderate temperature. This will help to prevent the bread from drying out.
- Let the bread cool completely before glazing it. This will help the glaze to set properly.
- Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the bread for up to 2 months.
