Directions:
Preheat oven to 350º. Generously grease and lightly flour a 9"x5" loaf pan. Prepare cranberries, nuts and orange peel. Set aside.

In a bowl, mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and soda. Cut in shortening. Stir in orange juice, egg, and orange peel, mixing just to moisten. Fold in cranberries and nuts. Spoon into prepared pan.

Bake 60 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool on rack 15 minutes. Remove from pan, cool completely. wrap and store overnight. Makes 1 loaf.

This was the Ocean Spray recipe on their cranberry bag, but it is getting harder to find. I have the recipe cut from the bag and stuffed into my favorite cookbook for safe keeping. My mother made multiple loaves for Thanksgiving and Christmas every year. She would leave some of her berries whole or barely chopped. It gives a much more intense flavor that was a favorite of our family's.
