Cranberry Orange Quick Bread (Five Roses Flour - 1967)

"A Christmas tradition around our house, it goes quickly and I end up making it several times over the season, especially good toasted regular or under the broiler with a little cheddar sprinkled over."

  1. Cannot have dairy. Would margarine work? Don't keep shortening on hand.

  1. Excellent Recipe! So rich and delicious! I was so anxious to make this because it looked so yummy that I skipped over reading reviews! I originally took out dried cranberries, then by looking at pic#1 posted by Derf I saw they used fresh cranberries~ so glad I had them hanging in freezer! I placed in a loaf pan and baked 10 minutes less because I didn't think the batter was enough for my bundt pan. Other poster recommended doubling batch and then baking in a bundt pan~ I should of read this first. Also, since this is a KEEPER---I will add about 1/2 cup more cranberries as well as add chopped walnuts in the future~~just personal preference. THANKS for posting DERF!!!
     
  2. Ssooo good, moist and delicious, I did make a couple changes,<br/>I live in a high altitude so I decreased th baking powder to 1 tsp and instead of cherries I added raisins, worked great, I'll be making this again and again.
     
  3. I really liked this recipe. I have not made cranberry bread before. I followed the exact instructions using butter. Very moist and delish! I made it in four small loaf pans to give as gifts. Just the right amount of batter for the pan size. Yum! Thanks for sharing! :)
     
  4. Excellent recipe. Tried many others in the past few years but always come back to this one. Don't even chop the cranberries because we like them whole. I always use butter, but am sure that shortening works fine. Just like the taste and keeping qualities. This bread is almost failproof.
     
  5. Excellent! Easy to put together. I used a mix of sugar plus Splenda. The OJ and cherries sweeten nicely. It's a nice moist "cakey" bread you could add almonds to,or use as a holiday gift loaf, or make for buffets, bazaars, etc. A very useful recipe with lots of room for personal additions. Thank you Derf, this makes holiday baking easier.

  1. This is a great recipe. I am just confused about the (butter) shortening part, because the same amount of butter does not = the same amount of shortening. 1/4 cup of butter = 1/4 cup of shortening + 2 teapoons of water. I would put that in the recipe for people who would like to make this with shortening instead of butter, otherwise they might end up with a dryer result. To add my result, I baked the recipe with shortening and no added water, the result was very dry. I think this is a great recipe if you use butter but the author should be more specific.
