Cranberry Nut Bread ..

This is a Gluten-Free recipe :

***2c. Gluten Free All Purpose flour ***
3/4c. scant granulated sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
***1 tsp. xanthan gum ***
1 T. grated orange zest
3/4 c. fresh or commercial orange juice
1/4 c. melted butter
2 eggs
1 c. whole cranberries
3/4 c. nuts (save some for top of bread)

Pre-heat oven to 350 deg.

Mix all dry ingredients together.
Mix all wet ingredients together.

Blend both dry & wet until just moist.
Fold in whole cranberries and chopped nuts.

Spoon into well-buttered glass loaf pan.
Top with sprinkle of granulated sugar; add the rest of the nuts over the sugar.

Bake at least 45 min. (mine took a bit longer). Top will begin to separate a bit and tester will come out dry when done.

Remove from oven, but let cool in baking dish for at least 10 min.
After releasing from baking dish, place on cooling rack.

This is supposed to be better the next day. So, when totally cool, wrap tightly.
[this is so moist; a bit on the tart side, but was a hit... 'you mean this is Gluten Free?' GF does not equate to *taste free* ]

********
If making with regular flour, use All Purpose and leave out the xanthan gum. If you make it this way, send me a photo so we can compare !
