I can add the recipe I've developed over some years that's similar to Mk Neal's in using oranges, which I consider the 'secret sauce' to this delicious bread. I make 2 lb. loaves in my bread machine that I give to my grandkids and friends at the holidays, and they look forward to it. Instead of orange juice *in* the loaf and grated orange rind on top, mine incorporates the grated rind in the loaf, and I eat the orange afterward. It's very good as is and wonderful toasted too.
This is the order of ingredients for a bread machine, but you can mix the first 3 liquid ingredients in a small bowl, mix together the dry ingredients up to the grated orange peel in a large bowl; add the wet ingredients to the dry ones, then add the nuts and cranberries until just mixed, pour into a loaf pan and bake at 350 deg. for 50-60 minutes or until a tester in the middle comes out clean.
