Crazy Nana’S Cranberry Bread

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 325u00b0F.

2. 2

   Juice the orange (don't throw away the rind!) and add enough store-bought (or squeezed from other oranges) to add up to 3/4 cup of juice. Pour into a microwave-safe container. Add the butter to the juice and microwave for a minute or two, until the butter has nearly melted. Set aside.

3. 3

   Rip the pulp and as much of the white part as possible from the orange rind. In a food processor, chop this up until it's in teeny bits. Add the cranberries to this (if your cranberries are frozen, go ahead and throw them right in-the noise might wake the dead, but it won't harm the recipe) and coarsely chop, leaving some berries whole. Scrape this into the orange juice mixture.

4. 4

   In a separate large bowl, beat egg and sugar well. Slowly add the orange juice mixture. Add dry ingredients and mix well. Pour into a greased 9x5 loaf pan and bake about 1 hour, until top springs back when touched.

5. 5

   This recipe doubles and triples awesomely well, and is fabulous as muffins or smaller loaves.
