1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup walnuts ( chopped)

3/4 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons shortening
1 egg ( slightly beaten)

"I have been looking for another whole cranbbery bread recipe, I had one but lost it. It was wonderful since the cranberries burst as the loaf bakes. I look forward to trying this recipe as it seems very similar to the one I lost. Thanks!!"

"I was fortunate enough to be on the receiving of these from Goochie137!! They were a really pretty presentation in the little loaves and the whole cranberries really made the bread!! Thank you!"

"I made this to give to a friend. I made the recipe as directed. My only chage was to bake it in mini (smaller then the small pans) pans. The recipe fit exactly in 8 loafs. I only baked them for 40 minutes, which next time I will cut back to 35 minutes. I lined each loaf with a paper liner and then put in a cellophane and tied with a ribbon. I did have a very small taste and it was quite tasty. Thank you for sharing your recipe."
