How To Make cranberry bread

• Step 1
  Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray with Pam one 9x5 inch loaf pan or 3 mini loaf pans. Set aside.
• Step 2
  Cream butter, sugar and egg until smooth. Stir in orange juice, orange zest and vanilla.
• Step 3
  In another bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add butter-egg mixture; stir just to blend. Add cranberries and walnuts and mix until well combined.
• Step 4
  Transfer mixture to prepared pan. Bake the 9x5 loaf pan for 40-50 minutes and the mini-loaf pans for 20-30 minutes. Bread is done when nicely browned and a wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on rack for 10 minutes; remove from pan and cool completely. Wrap and store overnight. Glaze if desired and garnish with a few dried cranberries and chopped walnuts.
• Step 5
  To make glaze: Place powdered sugar in a small deep bowl or 2-cup glass measure. Stir in orange juice and milk; whisk until smooth. If needed, add additional milk, to make it of the right consistency for drizzling.
