  • 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries, chopped

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.

  3. In another bowl, mix the orange juice, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.

  7. Bake for about 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
