For a richer flavor, try using melted butter instead of margarine. To intensify the orange flavor, add a teaspoon of orange extract to the batter. This loaf tastes even better the next day, as the flavors have a chance to meld together. You can substitute walnuts for pecans, if desired. To prevent the cranberries from sinking to the bottom of the loaf, toss them with a tablespoon of flour before adding them to the batter.
