Rorie's Cranberry Bread

2 C sifted flour

1 C sugar

1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda

1/4 C. shortening

3/4 C orange juice

1 Tbsp. grated orange zest

1 egg, beaten

1/2 C chopped nuts

2 C whole cranberries ( I use the whole bag)

 

Sift all dry ingredients together.  Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse cornmeal.  Combine juice, zest, and egg.  Pour into dry ingredients, mixing just enough to dampen.  Carefully fold in nuts and cranberries.  Spoon into loaf pan - corners higher than center.  350 degrees - 1 hour - grease and flour pan.
