Cranberry Nut Bread

This holiday recipe comes from "Great American Home Baking". Denise made it this Christmas and it was excellent. It tastes kind of like a fruit cake, but it's a fruit cake that people will actually WANT to eat.

Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ cup vegan-friendly margarine
Enger-g egg replacer equal to 1 egg
1 tablespoon grated orange rind
3/4 cup orange juice
1½ cups golden raisins
1½ cups chopped cranberries
1 cup shopped walnuts or pecans

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9 1/5 X 5 1/4-inch loaf pan.

In a large bowl, sift together flour, sugar, baking powder and baking soda. Combine well.

Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

In a seperate bowl, stir together egg, orange rind and orange juice. Gradually stir in flour mixture. Stir just until flour is moistened.

Gently fold in raisins, cranberries and nuts.

Pour batter in to prepared pan. Bake for 60 to 75 minutes or until a pick inserted in center comes out clean.

Transfer pan to wire rack; let stand 5 minutes. Invert bread onto wire rack. Turn right side up. Cool completely.

Makes 12 slices.
