Cranberry Brilliant Bread

• 2 Cups Cranberries (fresh or frozen, halved)
• 1 egg (beaten)
• 1/4 Cup butter
• 1 Cup Milk
• 2 Cups flour
• 1 Cup Sugar
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp orange peel, (grated)
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 1/2 cups Cheddar (shredded)
• 1/2 cups walnuts (chopped)

Preheat oven to 350.  Butter a 9x5 loaf pan.

In a bowl combine: egg, butter, milk, and orange peel. In a large bowl, sift together: sugar, baking powder, flour, and salt.   Add the cranberries, cheddar, and nuts to the flour mixture and lightly mix.   Dump the milk mixture into the flour mixture and use a fork to  incorporate.   Place the moistened dough ball in your buttered loaf pan, and bake for an hour and 15 minutes (or until a toothpick comes out clean).  Let stand 10 minutes before removing from the pan, and finish cooling on a wire rack before cutting.

This is a beautiful loaf, it almost looks like its filled with red brown and yellow confetti!

ENJOY!
