Cranberry Orange Walnut Loaf

DH found this "gem" of a recipe in one of our local supermarket flyers. Tried and tested and flop proof. I used fresh cranberries, but frozen will be just as good. The batter is extremely stiff, but don't let put you off to the "heaviness" of the outcome... it is light and packed with goodness!!
