Cranberry Bread

I made this last night and it's yummy!

1 orange
Boiling water
2 T butter
1 egg
1 c sugar
1 c cranberries, chopped
2 c flour
1/2 t salt
1 1/2 t baking powder
1/2 t baking soda

Preheat the oven to 325. Butter a loaf pan. Grate the rind of the orange, and squeeze out all the juice into a measuring cup and add enough boiling water to make 3/4 c. Add the orange rind and butter and stir to melt the butter. Beat the egg in another bowl and gradually add the sugar, beating well. Add remaining ingredients and orange mixture, and blend well. Spoon into the pan and bake for 1 hour. Remove from the pan and cool on a rack.

If you're nutty: add 1/2 c chopped walnuts.
