Cranberry Orange Bread With Grand Marnier Glaze image

This is a combination of a couple of recipes. The original one with the glaze was WAY too high in fat and sugar, so I used another bread recipe and the glaze from the original. Nice addition to the holiday dessert table, or as a gift

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 c fresh cranberries (thawed and drained, if frozen)
3/4 c granulated sugar
1/3 c vegetable oil
1/4 c milk
1 tsp orange extract
1 tsp grated orange zest
2 large eggs
1 1/2 c all purpose flour
1/4 c coarsely chopped pecans or walnuts
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking powder
FOR THE GLAZE:
1 c powdered sugar
3-4 Tbsp grand marnier (or orange liqueur)

Steps:

  • 1. Move oven rack to low position so that top of pan will be in center of oven. Preheat oven to 350ºF. Grease bottom only of a loaf pan, 8 1/2x4 1/2x2 inches.
  • 2. Stir together cranberries, sugar, oil, milk, orange extract, orange peel and eggs in large bowl. Stir in remaining ingredients. Pour into pan.
  • 3. Bake 50 to 60 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes on wire rack.
  • 4. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and Grand Marnier, a tablespoon at a time. Glaze should be the consistency of corn syrup.
  • 5. Loosen sides of loaves from pan; remove from pan and place top side up on wire rack. Place wire rack over a cookie sheet.
  • 6. With a skewer, poke deep holes in top of loaf (about 10 holes evenly spaced). Drizzle with glaze so that it coats the top, runs down the sides and seeps through the holes.
  • 7. Cool completely before slicing.
