    NOTES : From the magazine: If you're tempted to fiddle with the spices(maybe substitute pumpkin-pie spice for the allspice,
    cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves), think again. We tried it that way in our Test Kitchen, but it wasn't as good. There's just
    something special about this four-spice combination.

  • This is a tradition in my house. Note that it is not a diet recipe...just an old family favorite. It is best if made a day or so ahead of time and it freezes beautifully.

    Cranberry Nut Bread

    2 c flour
    .5 t salt
    .5 t baking soda
    1 c sugar
    1.5 t baking powder
    Juice & grated rind of one orange
    2 T melted butter
    1 beaten egg
    1 c chopped nuts
    1 c chopped raw cranberries
    boiling water

    l. Grate orange peel and set aside. Squeeze the juice into a 1 c measuring cup.

    2. Add melted butter & enough boiling water to measure 1 cup.

    3. Place beaten egg in large mixing bowl. Add water/OJ/butter mixture to egg and mix.

    4. Stir together all dry ingredients and mix into bowl of wet ingredients

    5. fold in nuts, rind & cranberries.

    Bake at 325 for 1 hour in a sprayed loaf pan.

    This recipes makes:
    1 5x9 loaf or
    2 3.5x7.5 loaves or
    3 of the real small loafs (don't have the pans) They are the aluminum ones they sell in packs at the market. I make the mini ones to give away, so I buy the disposable pans.

    Note: Adjust the cooking time when making smaller loaves -- check with a cake tester.

    Now | 3 POINTS
    Servings | 10
    Preparation Time | 25 min
    Cooking Time | 50 min
    Level of Difficulty | Moderate

    Ingredients


    1 serving cooking spray (5 one-second sprays per serving), or enough to coat pan
    2 cup all-purpose flour
    6 Tbsp sugar, granulated
    2 1/2 tsp baking powder
    1 tsp ground cinnamon
    1/2 tsp baking soda
    1/4 tsp table salt
    1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
    3/4 cup buttermilk
    1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
    2 Tbsp reduced-calorie margarine, melted
    1/4 cup fat-free egg substitute
    2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
    1 tsp vanilla extract
    1 1/2 cup zucchini, shredded, packed coarsely
    2 tsp lemon zest, finely grated


    Instructions


    Preheat oven to 350ºF. Coat an 8-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.


    In a large bowl, combine flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, salt and nutmeg; mix well with a fork, make a well in the center and set aside.


    In a medium bowl, whisk together buttermilk, brown sugar, margarine, egg substitute, lemon juice and extract; stir in zucchini and lemon zest. Add mixture to dry ingredients and mix until just blended.


    Pour batter into prepared pan and bake until a wooden pick inserted near the center comes out clean, about 50 minutes. Cool in pan, on a wire rack, for 10 minutes. Remove bread from pan and cool completely. Slice into 10 pieces and serve. (Note: The base of the quick bread is also perfect for apple-cinnamon bread. Simply substitute an equal amount of grated McIntosh apples for the zucchini.)



    Chef Tips

    We renovated Zucchini Bread by:

    Using fat-free egg substitute instead of whole eggs.
    Choosing reduced-calorie margarine instead of butter.
    Swapping naturally low-in-fat buttermilk for whole milk or a combination of milk and oil.
