Cranberry Orange Nut Bread
Susan

I got this recipe from a friend in Texas. It always reminds me of Christmas in Conroe...

2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1 ½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
¼ cup shortening
¾ cup orange juice
1 tbsp. orange rind
1 egg beaten
½ cup chopped nuts
1 cup chopped fresh cranberries

Sift dry ingredients together. Cut in the shortening until it resembles cornmeal. Combine juice, rind, and egg. Add to dry ingredients and mix only until dampened. Fold in nuts and cranberries. Pour into a greased and floured loaf pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.
