Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon ground clove
- 0.6 cups buttermilk
- 6 tablespoons butter (melted and cooled)
- 0.3 cups orange juice
- 1 egg (lightly beaten)
- 1 ½ tablespoons orange zest
- 1 ½ cups coarsely chopped cranberries
- ¾ cup pecan nuts or walnuts
Method
- Preheat the oven to 375 F. Grease a loaf pan and lightly flour. Using a fork, combine the flour,sugar, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and ground clove in a large bowl. Mix thoroughly. In a medium bowl, whisk together buttermilk, butter, juice, egg, and zest. Fold the liquid mixture gently into the dry ingredients. Using a rubber spatula, combine gently only to blend. Add the berries and nuts. Combine gently; do not over-work the batter!
- Transfer the batter to the prepared pan. Smooth the top with a spatula. Bake 50-60 minutes in preheated oven. If the top browns quickly, lay a sheet of aluminum foil loosely over the top. The bread is done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few crumbs attached. (If your toothpick comes out clean, the bread is probably overdone.)
- Allow the loaf to cool in the pan on a wire rack for +/- 10 minutes. Remove from pan and allow to cool thoroughly before slicing.
