Cranberry Nut Bread

 This recipe came from my Mom- I have no idea where she got it, but we've had it around for years!

1 beaten egg
2 tbs melted shortening (I usually forget to add this, oops!)
1/2 cup prepared orange juice
2 tbs hot water
 
Add dry ingredients
 
2 cups flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup sugar
1/2 tsp baking powder
 
Mix well, then fold in
 
1/2 cup walnuts
1 cup raw cranberries, cut in half (hint: it is easier to slice them if they have been in the freezer for a while)
 
Dough will be thick and kind of sticky.
 
Pour in greased and floured pan (about 2/3 full)
Bake at 325 for about 1 hour, or until toothpick comes out clean
