• For the perfect cranberry loaf

  1. Grate the rind from the orange, squeeze the juice into a liquid measure, and add enough water to make 3/4 cup. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and orange rind. Stir in the cranberries.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the beaten egg, melted butter, and orange juice. Stir this mixture into the flour mixture just until blended.
  4. Spread the batter in a greased 9x5 loaf pan.
  5. Bake in the center of a preheated 350°F oven for 50 to 60 minutes or until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a rack to cool completely.
  7. (Make-ahead tip: Store at room temperature for up to 2 days or over-wrap with heavy-duty foil and freeze for up to 2 weeks.)
