01 Step

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 8x4-inch loaf pans. Alternatively, grease the pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal. (5 minutes)

In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy. This should take about 3-5 minutes.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. (2 minutes)
05 Step

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the orange juice, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. (3 minutes)
06 Step

Gently fold in the chopped cranberries and walnuts until evenly distributed throughout the batter. (2 minutes)
07 Step
Recipe View
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared loaf pans. (2 minutes)
08 Step
Recipe View
Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. If the tops of the loaves begin to brown too quickly, tent them loosely with aluminum foil after about 30 minutes of baking. (60-70 minutes)
09 Step
Recipe View
Let the loaves cool in the pans for 10-15 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely. (10-15 minutes)
For best results, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before beginning.
To intensify the orange flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of orange extract to the batter.
If using frozen cranberries, do not thaw them before chopping and adding to the batter. This will help prevent the color from bleeding into the bread.
The bread can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week. It also freezes well for up to 2 months.

Oct 13, 2024I've made this recipe several times, and it's always a hit. I sometimes add a glaze made with powdered sugar and orange juice for an extra touch of sweetness.
