GINGERED CRANBERRY PUMPKIN BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Butter and flour a 9-by-5-inch (8-cup) loaf pan and reserve.
• Sift together flour, soda, baking powder, salt, nutmeg and cinnamon; reserve.
• In a mixer with paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugars together with the ginger.

• Add dry ingredients in 3 batches, alternating with the milk, beating in just long enough to combine.
• Take care not to overmix at this point.
• Fold in chopped cranberries.
• Scrape batter into prepared pan.
• Tap on the counter to remove any air bubbles and bake in preheated oven for about 1½ hours, or until a toothpick comes out clean when poked in the center.
• After 45 minutes, rotate pan and place a sheet of aluminum foil loosely over loaf to prevent overbrowning.
• (Ovens bake differently so use your best judgment and a doneness test when gauging cooking time.) Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then remove to a rack and turn right-side-up to cool.

PUMPKIN-CRANBERRY-ORANGE GINGERBREAD LOAF

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and lightly dust the bottom with flour.
• Zest the entire orange, avoiding the white (pith). Peel and section the orange and remove all seeds. Chop orange pulp in the bowl of a food processor or blender until fine. Reserve with the zest.
• Cream sugar and butter together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until very well combined. Beat in eggs, one at a time, until thoroughly incorporated. Stir in pumpkin, reserved chopped orange and zest, orange juice, and grated ginger.
• Whisk flour, ginger, baking soda, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt together in a separate bowl. Stir into the wet batter until almost all is moistened, but do not overwork. Fold in dried cranberries and pecans. Turn into the prepared loaf pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Let cool in the pan, on a wire rack, for 15 minutes. Remove from the pan and let cool completely on the wire rack before wrapping.
