Cranberry Nut Bread

2 cups sifted flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

3/4 cup sugar

1 egg

1/3 cup orange juice

3 tablespoons vinegar plus water to make 2/3 cup

1 teaspoon grated orange rind

1/4 cup melted shortening

1 cup halves or coarsely chopped raw cranberries

1 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)

Sift together flour, soda, salt, and sugar in a mixing bowl. Beat egg, add liquids, orange rind, and melted shortening. Add all at once to flour mixture, stirring until flour is just dampened. Add cranberries and nuts and stir just enough to blend well. Turn into a greased loaf pan. Bake in a moderate 350 degree F oven 60 to 70 minutes or until done. Remove from the pan, and cool thoroughly on a rack. Slice or wrap in foil or saran wrap to keep fresh and moist, and this type of tea bread gets better every day.
