This Cranberry Orange Nut Bread recipe is wonderfully delicious and perfect for holiday baking because it just looks so festive, too! You may even want to bake several, and keep one for yourself, while giving the others away as holiday gifts. Read on for the full recipe.
Cranberry Orange Nut Bread
2 cups sifted flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup sugar
juice & grated rind of 1 orange
2 Tbsp. cooking oil
Boiling water (enough to bring oil up to 3/4 cup mark)
1 egg, beaten
1 cup chopped pecans
1 cup diced raw cranberries
Sift all dry ingredients together into a large mixing bowl. In separate bowl, combine liquids: egg, juice, oil & water. Mix liquids with dry ingredients, add orange rind and stir only to blend. Fold in nuts and cranberries. Pour into greased loaf pan and bake at 325º for 50 minutes to an hour. Let cool and store 24 hours before serving.
I hope you enjoy this old fashioned recipe as much as I do. As I mentioned in the video, this Cranberry Orange Nut Bread was a big part of my childhood, and I continue to make it every year around Christmastime.

Looks Wonderful
I’m trying this recipe today, thank you for posting it also. I have a question about the boiling water, what is that for and do you think it will cook the egg when you put them together? Thanks again.
Thanks for the recipe, I like cranberries very much so I made this recipe this morning (I used frozen cranberries) and I couldn't wait 24 hrs so I sliced it after 4 hrs and had it with my afternoon coffee, it was delicious!
What is the best way to preserve it (in case it is not consumed in one day)? thanks.
1/2tsp sugar ?? You mean salt ?
IT LOOKS HEALTHY AND Thanks you !
