Cranberry Bread...

Preheat oven to 350 degrees
1 Pkg. cranberries, chopped
2 Tbsp.grated orange zest
4 C. flour- unbleached, whole wheat or half-half mixture\
2 C. sugar (all white or 1 C. white with 1 C. brown sugar)
1 tsp. baking soda
3 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. salt
4 Tbsp. vegetable oil or butter
1 1/2 C. orange juice
2 eggs, beaten
1 to 1 1/2 CC. chopped nuts (optional)

Chop cranberries if you have a food processor (they work without being chopped, too).
Mix cranberries, nuts and orange peel. Set aside.

In large bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Cut in shortening.
(I usually use oil, which I just mix with the orange juice and eggs before adding to flour mixture.)
Stir in orange juice and eggs, mix just to moisten.
Fold in cranberry mixture.

Spoon into prepared pan.
Bake 60 minutes. Cool 15 minutes before taking out of pan.
For muffins: Preheat oven to 400 degrees and bake 25 - 35 minutes
