This Cranberry Orange Walnut Bread has been a part of every Thanksgiving dinner I have ever had for my entire life. This is an old recipe of my Mom’s. I love when the fresh cranberries appear in the markets and it is time to make this!
Cranberry Orange Walnut Bread is a pretty easy bread to put together, with no mixer required! It freezes well, so you could make it and freeze it if you want to serve it for Thanksgiving.
This would also be a great hostess gift if you are lucky enough to have someone making dinner for you.
Preheat over to 350 degrees Grease and flour a 9″ x 5″ loaf pan. With a paper towel, spread shortening inside the entire pan without missing any area. Spoon a heaping tablespoon of flour into the pan and shake all around the pan. Make sure the flour covers the entire inside. You will see if you have missed any areas with shortening by doing this. If you see any part, even tiny, where the flour does not stick, go back and add shortening to that place and repeat the flour process. Sift the dry ingredients together in a large bowl. In a medium bowl, beat the egg with a fork. Stir in the orange juice, orange zest, vinegar/water mixture, and vegetable oil. Add the wet mixture all at once to the flour mixture. Mix well by hand with a spatula. Stir in the cranberries and walnuts. Spoon into the loaf pan. Bake for 55 minutes, but begin checking for doneness at 50 minutes. To check for doneness, look at the top of the loaf. It should appear dry. You can also insert a toothpick into the top. If the loaf is finished, it will come out dry.Cranberry Orange Walnut Bread
