Instructions

1
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and set an oven rack to the middle position. Spray a 9 x 5-in (23 x 13-cm) loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray.
2
In a small bowl, stir together buttermilk, orange zest and juice, melted butter and egg. Set aside.
3
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, salt, cinnamon, baking powder and baking soda. Stir the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients with rubber spatula until just moistened. Gently stir in cranberries and nuts. Do not overmix.
4
Scrape the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly with a rubber spatula. Bake for 20 minutes, then reduce the heat to 350°F (175°C). Continue to bake until golden brown, and a toothpick inserted into center of the loaf comes out clean, about 45 minutes longer. Cool the loaf in the pan for about 10 minutes, then turn out onto the rack and cool at least 30 minutes before serving.
