CRANBERRY - ORANGE BREAD

2 cups flour
1  1/3 cups sugar
1  1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup fresh cranberries, cut in halves
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 tsp. almond extract
2 Tbsp. butter
grated rind of 1 orange
rest of orange, seeded and liquified
in a blender or food processor 
( add water to make 1 cup, if necessary )
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup pecans or walnuts, chopped

     Heat oven to 350*.  Blend flour, sugar, baking powder, 
     and salt.  Mix in butter, orange rind, egg, the extracts,
     and the liquified orange.  You may need to add a few 
     tablespoons of water to make the mixture manageable,
     but it shouldn't be wet enough to pour.  Mix in the 
     nuts and cranberries gently.  Spoon into a greased 
     9" x 5" loaf pan and bakefor about 1 hr., until toothpick
     inserted in center comes out clean.

     Makes one loaf
