CRANBERRY-ORANGE QUICK BREAD
This is my husband's very favorite quick bread I make, a great holiday gift, and is my most-requested at parties, especially around the holidays. It originally came from the Betty Crocker Cookbook, but I usually omit the nuts (although I love pecans with the cranberries) and have added a glaze onto it, which really seemed to give it that extra little zing. When I serve it for parties or brunches, I slice it, then cut the slices in half top to bottom; people seem satified with the smaller pieces (though they often go back for more!) and it serves more that way. I always try to keep a bag of cranberries in the freezer for just this recipe.

Steps:
- Cake:.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter or grease a Bundt cake pan well; set aside.
- In a food processor, pulse together 3 cups flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse cornmeal.
- Combine orange juice and grated rind with well beaten eggs. Pour into dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Dust the halved cranberries with remaining 1 tablespoon of flour. Carefully fold halved cranberries into batter. Spoon the batter into prepared Bundt pan.
- Bake in preheated oven for 40 to 50 minutes or until a cake tester inserted in center comes out clean.
- Cool bread in pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes before removing to cool.
- Glaze:.
- Add confectioner's sugar to a small mixing bowl. Add milk 1 tablespoon at a time until glaze is spreadable, but not runny. Spread generously over warm cake allow glaze to run down the sides of the bread.
- Cool bread completely before slicing and serving.
- Serve with sugared cranberries, optional.
Tips:
- Use fresh cranberries and oranges for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries, but be sure to thaw them before using.
- Grate the orange zest finely. This will help to release the oils and flavor of the orange.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the bread tough.
- Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will take about 45-55 minutes.
- Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help to keep the bread moist.
