Tart Cranberry Walnut* Quick Bread

I used to make multiple loaves of this wonderful bread and give them away for Christmas:
(makes 1 loaf = 12 slices)

1&1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar
1 t. baking powder
1/4 each salt and baking soda
1 egg
1/2 cup orange juice
2 T. butter, melted
1 T. water
1/2 cup chopped walnuts*
1&1/2 cups halved fresh or frozen cranberries
Cream cheese (for spreading)

In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Whisk the egg, orange juice, butter, and water, and stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in cranberries and nuts. Transfer to a greased and floured 8x4" loaf pan. Bake at 350 for 45-50 mins. or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 10 mins. before removing from pan to a wire rack. Slather with cream cheese (or butter). YUMOLA!!!!
