How to make cranberry nut bread:

In a bowl, sift together dry ingredients. Squeeze orange juice into cup measure. Add grated orange rind, butter and enough boiling water to make 3/4 cup. Combine orange juice mixture and egg. Stir liquid into dry ingredients and stir only until dry mixture is dampened. Add chopped nuts and cranberries. Pour into a greased 9 x 5 x 3-inch loaf pan. Push batter up towards edges, leaving center slightly hollowed. Let batter stand for 20 minutes in pan before baking. Bake in a preheated 350° oven for 60 to 70 minutes. Remove from pan and cool.

Note: May substitute regular orange juice for orange. It works just as good.
