How to Make Cranberry Raisin Nut Bread

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8 1/2x4 1/2 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  3. Stir in the cranberries, raisins, pecans, and orange zest.

  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just moistened. Do not overmix.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
