My love of food and baking and cooking was inherited from my mother. She used things that she had leftover whenever possible to make a meal, for example a stew, or a dessert,and in-season fruit. We always had a wonderful aroma in the kitchen, and she had a flair for decorating the house,for example: when the doctor came to make a house-call, he admired the bouquet of wild flowers in an old chamber pot! I love old photos of family, and I never knew my maternal grandparents as they died before my mom got married. I treasure the photos and the old recipes my mom saved. Her handwriting was poor but I can read this one recipe.

How To Make cranberry nut loaf

Step 1

Mom's handwritten 3X5 card, for Cranberry Nut Loaf. Directions from an old cookbook: Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Butter a loaf pan.

Step 2

Apparently she remembered many things,so there are no instructions for order to mix this, or the oven temperature!
Step 3

My old standby cookbook, The Fannie Farmer Cookbook, instructions say:Grate the rind and squeeze out the juice and add enough boiling water to make 3/4 cup. Add the orange rind and the butter and stir to melt the butter.
Step 4

In another bowl, beat the egg and add the sugar, beating well. Add remaining ingredients and orange mixture and blend well.
Step 5

Place batter in buttered loaf pan, bake 1 hour. Remove and cool completely.
