2 c. flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1 1/4 c. sugar
1 egg, beaten
1/3 c. orange juice
1 tsp. grated orange rind
2 tbsp. white vinegar
1/4 c. salad oil
2/3 c. mashed ripe bananas
1 1/4 c. fresh or frozen cranberries, cut in half
1 c. chopped walnuts; optional

Sift dry ingredients into mixing bowl. Combine egg, orange juice, rind, vinegar, and oil; add all at once to flour mixture stirring just until all flour is moistened. Fold in mashed bananas, cranberries and nuts.

Pour into greased 9 x 5 x 3 loaf pan and bake at 350 degrees for 60-70 minutes. Remove from pan and cool before cutting.

NOTE: Let batter stand in loaf pan about 20 minutes before baking. Cutting cranberries in half will give bread a better color and tart flavor of cranberries will be more evident. Bread will be better when a few days old. This bread freezes well.

Yields one 9 x 5 x 3 inch loaf pan plus one to two #2 cans. Fill 2/3 full.
