Does anyone have a recipe for a cranberry orange loaf?

Thanks in advance!

OK-Here's my cranberry bread recipe! My family hates nuts so I don't usually add them...
Mom's Cranberry Bread

2 cups flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup sugar
1 cup cranberries (fresh or frozen, washed and chopped or halved-I use my food processor)
1/2 cup chopped nuts
1 beaten egg
3 tblsp. oil
1 cup orange juice

Sift dry ingred. together. Add cranberries and nuts. Add eggs mixed with oj and oil, mix slightly. Bake in greased loaf pan @ 350 x one hour.

* I always double the recipe to use the whole bag of cranberries. This is sooo moist and good! I think I may need to make some!

Andi's mom's cranberry bread is the best I've ever tasted! I'd make that one. http://www.cookinglight.com/bbs/biggrin.gif

Do you think I could substitute V8 splash for the Orange Juice? I need to bake something for a bake sale tomorrow and don't have orange juice.

Thanks.

I baked mini loaves of Mom's Cranberry Bread for gifts this year. I doubled the recipe and used almost a whole bag of cranberries. The flavor was good, although I might have added orange zest for a little more orange flavor. Also, the texture was a little spongy, so it did seem like a "light" recipe.

There is a "Cranberry Orange Tea Cake" from March 2001 that I made this fall that is really good. It really is a loaf, although they call it a cake. DH loved it!

I wanted to get back to this. I had a couple slices of the Mom's cranberry bread this morning and it was delicious! Maybe it needed to sit in the fridge for a few days to get more of a dense texture. Now I'd highly recommend this recipe -- just don't eat it right out of the oven.
