Recipe View Bake in the preheated oven for 60-75 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top of the bread starts to brown too quickly, tent it loosely with foil. (60-75 minutes)

Recipe View Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. (10 minutes)

For a more intense orange flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of orange extract to the wet ingredients.
If using frozen cranberries, do not thaw them before adding them to the batter.
To prevent the nuts from sinking to the bottom of the loaf, toss them with a tablespoon of flour before folding them into the batter.
This recipe can also be used to make muffins. Fill muffin cups about ¾ full and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Store the cooled bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.

    Next time, I'll try using dried cranberries. Fresh ones were a bit too tart for my taste.
