Cranberry Bread

This is one of my favorite recipes and making it is the one thing that will finally get me into the holiday spirit. We always have it for breakfast Thanksgiving morning and I double the recipe and make two loaves.

Cranberry Bread

2 c. sifted flour
1 c. sugar
1 ½ t. baking powder
1 t. salt
½ t. baking soda
¼ c. butter
1 t. grated orange peel
¾ c. orange juice
1 egg, beaten
1 ½ c. light raisins (golden)
1 ½ c. fresh cranberries

Sift first 5 ingredients into large bowl. Cut in margarine until mixture is crumbly. Add egg, orange peel, and orange juice all at once. Stir just until mixture is evenly moist. Fold in raisins and cranberries. Spoon into greased 9x5x3 loaf pan. Bake at 350F for one hour and 10 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Turn out of pan and cool on a wire rack.
