  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   2      c             All purpose flour
   1      c             Sugar
   1 1/2  ts            Double-acting baking powder
     1/2  ts            Baking soda
   1      ts            Salt
     1/4  c             Shortening
     3/4  c             Fresh orange juice
   1      tb            Orange zest -- grated
   1                    Egg -- well-beaten
     1/2  c             Nuts -- chopped
   1 1/2  c             Cranberries -- coarse chop

Sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, soda, and salt.

Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse corn meal. (Do in
food processor?) Combine orange juice and peel with beaten egg. Pour
all at once into dry ingredients, mixing just until dampened.
Carefully fold in nuts and cranberries. (If frozen cranberries are
used, put through food chopper in frozen state.)

Spoon into greased loaf pan (9x5x3"). Spread corners and sides
slightly higher than center.

Bake in 350 F oven for about 1 hour, until crust is golden brown and
toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Remove from pan and cool.

Store overnight for easier slicing.

I sometimes add 2 tb of chopped dried apricots to this.
