CRANBERRY ORANGE BREAD

Steps:

• Gather together the flours, sugar, baking powder, soda, cloves and cinnamon into the sifter, and sift into your mixing bowl. I ground cinnamon bark and whole cloves in my coffee grinder, and they tasted and smelled super-good!
• In another container, mix the orange rind and juice, egg, and melted butter. Stir these wet ingredients into the dry.
• Coarsely chop the cranberries, or give them a couple of quick whirls in a food processor. Add them to the batter along with the optional walnuts, and mix it all through.
• Pour into a buttered loaf pan, and bake at 350F for 1 hour, or until a tester inserted in the centre comes out clean. If I don't have a toothpick, I often use a stick of spaghetti for this task. Cool the bread on a rack, and if you're not going to gobble it all down right away (very tempting!) wrap it tightly to store.
