Sometimes when things are stressful, you just have to bake! And new recipes are the best to try because you need to sing a NEW SONG, like David says in the Psalms. So today I made Orange Cranberry Loaf from the cookbook Colorado Collage. It sounded good, the batter looked wonderful and the bread measured up in every way. We have restrained ourselves to only eating half the loaf tonight, but I was wise enough to double the recipe and make 2 loaves so we would have more longer. Here goes:
325 degree oven for 1 hour and 10 minutes. One loaf pan greased and floured.
Big bowl: 2 cups flour, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp baking soda and 1 cup sugar
stir this together
little bowl: 1 egg beaten, 2 TB melted butter, 3/4 cup orange juice stir this together
another bowl: 1 cup cranberries cut in half (be smart use the food processor and a couple of pulses) and 3/4 cup chopped nuts (I used pecans)
Make sure oven hot, pan ready and tada, add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix, then add the berries and nuts and stir in well.
Mixture will be thick. Pour into pan, put in oven and set timer. When done set on rack til pan cool enough to touch and then take out of pan and let finish cooling on rack. Divine.
