I love when fresh cranberries appear in the store in the fall.  The fruit reminds me of family get togethers where cranberries are traditionally served on the table. 

I like to make this loaf for Christmas.  The cranberries and the orange juice pares well together and provides a tart alternative to the sweet treats of the season.

2 cups flour

2 tbsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1 cup white sugar

3/4 cup orange juice

1 beaten egg

2 tbsp melted butter

1 cup whole cranberries

Mix wet ingredients into combined dry ingredients.  Pour into a greased loaf pan and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 50 too 60 minutes.
