Ingredients

2 cups flour, all-purpose
1 cup sugar granulated
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons vegetable shortening
1 tablespoon orange zest grated
1 each egg beaten
1 cup cranberries halved
1 cup walnuts chopped

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Grease the bottom, but not the sides, of two small loaf pans.

In a large bowl, sift together all the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt).

Blend very well.

Mix together the orange juice, orange peel, melted shortening and beaten egg.

Mix only enough to blend uniformly.

Mix in the cranberries and the nuts; stir gently.

Pour the mixture into the loaf pans.

Push it to the corners, leaving the center slightly hollow.

Bake about an hour at 350 degrees F.

The loaves are done when a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.

Cool completely before cutting.

Do not try to serve warm.

These are quick to make and great for using up leftover rice, quinoa, barley, or other grains. And the cumin really adds the perfect touch of flavor (although I do add some salt). I make these as an accompaniment to squash soup or other cream-based soup...perfect for harvest time. I really enjoy simple food, and these are perfect. My kids enjoy them too...they say they look like chocolate chip cookies and like them dipped in ketchup.
