I found this recipe on AllRecipes the day I was baking for our Christmas brunch and immediately decided to make it. I believe this is my all-time favorite bread. I added a glaze by mixing powdered sugar and orange juice. This is the perfect bread for a special brunch or holiday!
INGREDIENTS:
* 2 cups all-purpose flour
* 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
* 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1 tablespoon grated orange zest
* 1 1/2 cups fresh cranberries
* 1/2 cup pecans, coarsely chopped
* 1/4 cup margarine, softened
* 1 cup white sugar
* 1 egg
* 3/4 cup orange juice
DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan. Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir in orange zest, cranberries, and pecans. Set aside.
2. In a large bowl, cream together margarine, sugar, and egg until smooth. Stir in orange juice. Beat in flour mixture until just moistened. Pour into prepared pan.
3. Bake for 1 hour in the preheated oven, or until the bread springs back when lightly touched. Let stand 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool. Wrap in plastic when completely cool.
