Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 whole Orange, Juiced And Zested; 2 Tablespoons Butter; 1 whole Egg; 1 cup Sugar; 2 cups Flour (You Can Use Whole Wheat); 1/2 teaspoons Salt; 1-1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder; 1/2 teaspoons Baking Soda; 1/2 teaspoons Nutmeg; 1 cup Cranberries (halved); 1/2 cups Walnut Pieces

Servings: persons

1 whole Orange, Juiced And Zested
2 Tablespoons Butter
1 whole Egg
1 cup Sugar
2 cups Flour (You Can Use Whole Wheat)
1/2 teaspoons Salt
1-1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoons Baking Soda
1/2 teaspoons Nutmeg
1 cup Cranberries (halved)
1/2 cups Walnut Pieces

1
Squeeze one orange (or lemon, if you don't have an orange) and collect the juice in a measuring cup. Add zest and enough boiling water to make 3/4 cup.
2
Melt 2 tablespoons butter into this mixture.
3
Beat 1 egg in a separate bowl. Add sugar (can be reduced to 3/4 cup if you wish) and beat well until the sugar is almost dissolved.
4
Add flour (I use King Arthur whole wheat white), salt, baking powder, baking soda, and grated nutmeg. Mix all together gently.
5
Add the juice/butter liquid to the flour and mix.
6
Stir in cranberries and walnuts just enough to distribute them evenly in the batter.
7
Transfer to a baking pan. A stoneware loaf pan makes wonderfully crispy crusts.
8
Bake at 325 degrees for one hour or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on a rack.
9
If you can wait until the next day, the bread slices better.
