Receta Cranberry Swirl Bread
Cranberry Swirl Bread
- 2-(3 oz) pkg. cream cheese, softened
- 1 egg
- 1 pkg true orange, optioinal
- 2 c all purpose flour
- 1 c sugar
- 1 1/2 t baking powder
- 1/2 t baking soda
- 1/2 t salt
- 2 t grated orange zest
- 3/4 c apple juice
- 1/4 c melted butter
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 1/2 c coarsely chopped fresh cranberries*
- 1/2 c chopped walnuts
Tip: *To chop cranberries in food processor, add about 2 cups fresh cranberries to food processor bowl with metal blade. Process with 10 on/off pulses or I use my food chopper. (I bought mine from The Pampered Chef)
**There is too much batter for one 8x4 inch loaf pan.
Heat oven to 350. Grease and flour 9x5 loaf pan** In small bowl, beat cream cheese until light and fluffy. Add 1 egg and pkg. of true orange if using, blend well. Set aside. Lightly spoon flour into measuring cup; level off. In large bowl, mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and zest. Stir in apple juice, butter and beaten egg. Fold in cranberries and nuts. Spoon half of batter into prepared pan. Spoon cream cheese mixture evenly over batter. Top with remaining batter. Bake at 350 for 65-75 mins or until toothpick inserted near middle comes out clean. Cool 15 mins; remove from pan. Cool on wire rack. Wrap tightly and store in refrigerator.
Note: I found this recipe in a Pillsbury Recipe Booklet in 1988. That is how long I have been making this wonderful bread. I added the orange zest and true orange pkg. to the recipe.
