Cranberry Bread

Like the majority of my cranberry recipes this came from Mrs. Harkner of Milston, Wi. She passed on her favorites to my mother and they quickly became our favorites also. I am including the nuts, they are of course, optional. Sift: 2 c flour 1 c sugar 1 1/2 t bkg pwdr 1/2 t salt 1/2 t soda In separate bowl combine: 2 T melted butter 1/2 c orange juice 1 egg 2 T hot water Mix the wet and dry and stir in: 1/2 c chopped walnuts or pecans 1 1/2 cups chopped cranberries Pour into greased loaf pan and bake at 350 for 1 hour. Cool ten minutes and turn out gently.
