Instructions For Cranberry Orange Bread:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a medium sized mixing bowl, combine melted butter, orange juice, orange zest, eggs, sugar and buttermilk with an electric mixer. Blend until well combined.

Add flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Mix just until combined.

Mix 1 1/4 cup cranberries with 1/2 tablespoon flour. (reserve 1/4 cup of the 1 1/2 cups cranberries for the top of the bread)

Next, fold in flour dusted cranberries.

Place batter into a 9 x 5 inch greased bread pan (or use parchment paper, if desired).

Lightly press 1/4 cup cranberries (the reserved cranberries) into the top of the bread.

Bake at 350 degrees for 50-55 minutes.

After baking, remove from the oven and cool in the pan for 10 minutes and then loosen edges of the bread with a butter knife.

Remove bread from the pan and finish cooling on a cooling rack.

When cooled, mix powdered sugar and orange juice or milk until well blended. Drizzle over the top of the cranberry orange bread.

Refrigerate or serve. This bread will freeze beautifully. If freezing to use later, I like to slice the bread before I freeze it. It makes it easier to use.
