Cranberry-Orange Pecan Bread

Desserts, Rita's Kitchen

Cranberry-Orange Pecan BreadCrunchy toasted pecans and Angostura Orange Bitters complement tangy cranberries in this easy, yummy holiday quick bread.  My Orange-Laced Frosting here makes a fancier quick bread.  For holiday gifts, I’m going to try this recipe using two smaller, 3 x 5-3/4″ loaf pans (perhaps three smaller pans – tbd).  Of course, the bake time will be shorter; I’m thinking 35 minutes. Will keep you posted.

Cranberry-Orange Pecan Bread

Makes one 9 x 5-inch quick bread    Prep time 15 minutes    Cook time 50-60 minutes

1          rounded cup fresh or frozen cranberries (about 4-1/2 oz.)
2          cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1          cup sugar
1          tsp. baking powder
1/2       tsp. salt
1/4       tsp. baking soda
3/4       cup toasted pecans or walnuts, coarsely chopped
1           large egg
2/3      cup low-fat buttermilk
6          Tbsp. butter, melted
2          Tbsp. orange zest
1/3       cup orange juice
2          tsp. Angostura® Orange Bitters
1/2       tsp. vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 350ºF.  Lightly grease a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan.

If using frozen cranberries, spread berries out on a cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes or so. Then cut large cranberries in half. To measure flour, spoon into dry measuring cup and level with a knife. Combine flour with remaining dry ingredients in a large bowl, blending thoroughly with a whisk. Stir in cranberries.

Whisk remaining ingredients in a smaller bowl. Add to dry ingredients and stir gently until fully moistened; do not over mix. Spoon batter into pan and smooth out top. Bake 50 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Let rest in pan 10 minutes then turn out onto wire rack to cool completely before slicing – at least 1 hour.

Orange-Laced Frosting
1-1/2     cups powdered sugar
4           Tbsp. butter, softened
2           tsp. orange zest (optional)
1            Tbsp. orange juice
1            tsp. Angostura Orange Bitters

In a medium microwave-safe bowl, stir together all ingredients until smooth. If needed, warm up in microwave to soften (medium power for 10+ seconds). If frosting is too thick, stir in more orange juice, a teaspoon at a time, until desired consistency. Drizzle frosting over nut bread. Frosting will firm up a bit on the bread.

Do your recipes turn out just like the photos? Do Do your recipes turn out just like the photos? Do you care or wonder what the developer did different? Or do you think it was fancy food styling and photography? There’s lots of reasons —like different pans, ingredients vary, your whipped eggs may turn out a little different than mine because they are fresher, older, different hens.... and on and on. I hope you don’t get discouraged when images aren’t the same as your results, and you can see by mine, even when it IS my recipe there are variations. The cake on the plate is gluten free, and didn’t bake as golden as the flour version. (And my oven is currrently on the fritz, believe it or not! 😂)

Sure happy to have this recipe in my repertoire. P Sure happy to have this recipe in my repertoire. Perfect after a day of baking, biking, gardening, and escaping into a good book on the sofa by the fire.  Recipe inspired by  @cheflauriegauguin. We spice it up with a smear of hoisin sauce on a Trader Joe’s Carb Savvy whole wheat tortilla to wrap it all up.
(If you want to know, the book I’m reading is The Knitting Circle by @annhood56)

Make these once and I’m pretty sure you’ll kee Make these once and I’m pretty sure you’ll keep raw cashews on-hand always. Or try with another nut, and let me know which you like best. My gift to you is the recipe below 🙂
Original recipe @leitesculinaria and @inagarten but I first enjoyed it from @mmfooddrink. 🙏 this recipe has been a gift that keeps giving 😂. 
Merry Christmas!

Rosemary Roasted Cashews
 
Heat oven to 350°F
 
Spread 1 pound raw whole cashews on a baking sheet (I usually line sheet with parchment). Bake for 15-20 minutes turning several times until toasted a deep golden brown.
 
Meanwhile, in a large bowl,  microwave 1 tablespoon salted butter until melted.
Stir in:
one rounded tablespoon very finely chopped fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon packed dark or light brown sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
 
Add hot cashews to bowl as soon as they are toasted.  Stir and stir until cashews are cool and coated with herb mixture.  Stirring while the nuts are hot is the trick. Cool completely in the bowl.
