1 1/2 c. fresh cranberries
1/2 c. chopped nuts
2 c. flour
1 1/4 c. sugar
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking powder
2 tbsp. butter
3/4 c. orange juice
1 tsp. orange extract
1 egg, beaten

Coarsely chop the cranberries and combine with the chopped nuts. In a different bowl combine the dry ingredients and cut in the butter. Stir in the last three ingredients, then fold in the cranberries and nuts.

Spoon the batter into a well greased loaf pan and bake in a 350 degree oven for about 60 minutes or until a wooden pick comes out clean. Allow bread to cool for 15 or 20 minutes, then remove from pan and cool completely.

Flavor improves if bread is wrapped and refrigerated for a day or two.
