Cranberry Orange Bread

Ingredients: 

4 cups all purpose flour

2 tsp baking soda

1 1/2 tsp table salt

2 cups sugar + 1/4 cup to put on top of the cranberries

4 cups fresh or frozen cranberries cut in half

2 tablespoons grated orange rind

2 eggs

1 cup orange juice

1 cup water

2/3 cup vegetable oil

2 cups chopped pecans or walnuts

Mini bread loaf pans (optional) 

Parchment Paper (optional, for wrapping) 

Baking Twine (optional, for wrapping) 

Method:

Slice cranberries in half. Top with 1/4 cup sugar then set aside.

Mix together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

In a separate bowl, combine 2 cups sugar, orange rind, and vegetable oil.

Add eggs and combine.

Slowly add flour mixture, orange juice, and water to sugar mixture.

Once all mixed together, add chopped nuts and cranberries.

Divide batter into small greased mini loaf pans and bake at 350 degrees for 35-45 minutes.

Notes:

If you would like to make a large loaf rather than mini loaves, this mixture will make two large loaves. Bake a large loaf for 60-70 minutes.
