Ingredients

  • 2 cups of flour
  • 3/4 of a cup of sugar
  • 1 teaspoon of baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
  • 3/4 of a cup of lemonade
  • 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons of vegetable shortening
  • 1/4 cup of applesauce + 2 teaspoons of baking powder mixed together well
  • 1 and 1/2 cups of fresh cranberries – coarsely chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350° and grease a 9 x 5 inch loaf, or mini bread pans if you have them.
  • Whisk the dry ingredients together in a large mixing bowl. Stir in the lemonade, lemon zest, shortening, apple sauce mixture, and cranberries. Mix until well combined. Fold the mixture into the bread pan, 3/4 of the way full. Bake for 55 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If you make mini loaves check them for doneness at 40 minutes.
  • Cool completely on a wire rack.
  • You can also add 3/4 of a cup of chopped nuts to the mix if desired.
