CRANBERRY ORANGE BREAD WITH ORANGE BUTTER GLAZE



Cranberry Orange Bread With Orange Butter Glaze image

I came up with this recipe myself. I hope you like it. It isn't as sweet as some quick breads because of the cranberries, but I like the tartness. Let me warn you, though. It smells really good fresh out of the oven, but PLEASE let it sit overnight in the refrigerator before trying it. When it is still warm, but flavors haven't blended and it is extremely tart. The longer it's allowed to sit, the better it gets. We had this for Thanksgiving and I received several compliments on it. Prep time is an estimate. Enjoy!

After about 5 minutes, drizzle cake with half of the glaze, so can soak into the cake. Then when cakes cooled another 10 minutes, drizzle with remaining glaze.

Tips:

  • Choose the right oranges: Use fresh, ripe oranges with a deep orange color. This will ensure a vibrant and flavorful glaze.
  • Zest the oranges before juicing them: This will release the aromatic oils from the peel, which will add depth of flavor to the glaze.
  • Use unsalted butter: This will allow you to control the amount of salt in the glaze. If you only have salted butter, omit the additional salt from the recipe.
  • Bring the butter and orange juice to a simmer: This will help the flavors meld and thicken the glaze.
  • Add the reserved orange zest to the glaze: This will add a burst of citrus flavor.
  • Brush the glaze on the food while it is still warm: This will help the glaze adhere to the food and create a glossy finish.

Conclusion:

Orange butter glaze is a versatile and delicious glaze that can be used on a variety of foods, including chicken, fish, pork, and vegetables.
