From One Ash Farm: Here's one of our
popular holiday recipes from the blog- readers can see more at www.OneAshHomestead.com
Cranberry Bread
Ingredients:
1
1/2 cup all purpose flour 1 tsp. baking powder
1
tsp. baking soda 1
tsp. salt
1
tsp. cinnamon 1/4
tsp. nutmeg
1
cup uncooked oatmeal 1/3
cup shortening
1/2
cup brown sugar 2
eggs
1
cup cranberry sauce (I used my leftover homemade sauce from Thanksgiving!)
1/2
cup milk
Directions:
1.
In a large bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda,
salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. 2. Stir in the oats. 3. In a smaller
bowl, cream together the shortening and brown sugar. Add the
eggs, beating well. 4. Add the
cranberry sauce and milk and beat until well mixed. 5. Add this creamed mix to the dry
ingredients in the larger bowl and stir together until just blended. 6. Don’t over mix the batter. 7. Pour
the batter into a large greased loaf pan. 8. Bake at 350° for
approx. 60 minutes or until a toothpick can be inserted and come out
clean. 9. Cool in the pan 15
minutes before turning out onto a cooking rack (don’t worry if your loaf
cracks a little on top- that just creates a great space for the glaze to
settle!)
Glaze
3/4 cup powdered sugar 3 TBS. milk
1/2 tsp. vanilla
Mix
together in a small bowl until smooth. -When the bread is completely
cooled drizzle the glaze over the loaf. Enjoy!
Harriet's Garden Tips: Buy a small one bloom poinsettia, water then
remove from pot, wrap in a baggie and place in the middle of an arrangement of
greenery. The bloom will stay fresh for
a long time. Isn't it nice that the time
for pruning shrubs comes at a time of the year when greens are needed for
Holiday decorations.
