Hi people. This week weâre rerunning a holiday episode from season 2 that features a delicious recipe for Christmas morning. Itâs called Mattie Belleâs Cranberry Bread and itâs very easy to make. 

Youâll need: 

2 cups flour

 cup sugar

1 Â teaspoon baking powder

 teaspoon soda

 cup butter

 cup orange juice

1 egg

1 tablespoon grated orange rind

 cup walnuts

1 cup halved cranberries 

Preheat the oven to 350. sift flour, baking powder and soda and set aside. Cream butter and sugar together, add the egg, then add the flour mixture in parts, alternating with the orange juice and blend well. Then mix in the orange rind, walnuts and cranberries. Bake for 1 hour, then turn the oven off and crack the door slightly to let the bread slowly cool down. 

On my NPR podcast Iâm talking about decorating with food. Making our morsels do double duty as dÃcor is such fun, and it honors our holiday feast in a lovely way. Be sure and listen!
