2 c. all-purpose sifted flour
1 c. sugar
1 1/2 tsp. double acting baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1/4 c. shortening
3/4 c. orange juice
1 tbsp. grated orange rind
1 egg, well beaten
1/2 c. chopped nuts
1-2 c. fresh cranberries, coarsely chopped

Sift together the dry ingredients. Cut in shortening until the mix resembles coarse cornmeal.

Combine orange juice and rind with well beaten egg. Pour all at once into dry ingredients.

Mix just enough to dampen. Carefully fold in nuts and cranberries. Spoon into a greased 9 x 5 x 3 inch loaf pan. Spread corners and sides higher than the center. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour until the top is golden brown and toothpick comes out clean. Remove from pan and cool over night for easy slicing.
