Cranberry Mandarin Loaf
Too soon?
I know, a lot of you are still cleansing and juicing and shunning wheat and sugar. And the cranberry-orange flavour combo is decidedly December. But after a few weeks of hiatus, cranberry-orange loaves make their way back into coffee shop displays. Or do they? Am I remembering the early days of coffee shop-mania when cranberry-orange loaves, muffins and scones were de rigueur? Perhaps flavours, like green tea and pomegranate and chipotle, become trendy like skinny jeans and Uggs, and then fall from glory. If this is the case, cranberry-orange loaves were so 1990s. It was always Mike’s first choice, and I haven’t made a loaf for years. And so I did.
Besides, there’s a foot of snow on the ground and baking is the most pleasant way to warm a house. Bags of fresh cranberries are still cheap as stores try to get rid of their stock, and those ginormous cases of Mandarin oranges still dominate the produce section of the grocery store – does anyone ever finish a box before they go all spongy? I may have hit a new low in my quest to not waste food – I’ve found a use for at least a few of those peels I’ve been picking them up off beds, couches and coffee tables for weeks. Turns out you can – of course – grate the zest of a mandarin or satsuma and add them to your muffins and loaves and cakes. Or blitz it in the food processor with a bowl of sugar, and keep your orange-infused sugar in a glass jar on the shelf – a little brightness in deep midwinter.
Cranberry Mandarin Loaf
AuthorJuliePreheat the oven to 350F
In a large bowl, beat the butter, sugar and zest until fluffy; beat in the egg. In a small bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; add to the butter mixture in three additions, alternating with the juice in two. Add the cranberries along with the final addition of flour.
Pour into a buttered 8"x4" loaf pan and bake for an hour, or until springy to the touch.
Cool for a few minutes before turning out onto a wire rack.

Beautiful! I love the idea of mandarin infused sugar.
You’re spot on about the cleansing! Seems silly to swear off wheat and sugar for a week or so, but after a season of excess it looks like a good idea at the time. A week into my cleanse and I’m ready to gnaw on the coffee table leg for some fibre. Can’t wait to try this recipe when I’m back to (somewhat) saner eating.
A little embarrassed to say I just discovered the cranberry orange flavour combo…..growing up in an Indian home we never had cranberries. Recently I had some Morning Rounds with cranberry and oranges and LOVED the combination…I’ve been searching for a recipe with that flavour combo and came across your recipe! Have to give this a try soon! Thx for sharing!
Good is good. I don’t care if a taste is seasonal. If I like it, I’m going to eat if if I have it. End of story!
I’m not really trying too hard to diet right now. I would eat a whole loaf and not think twice about it! 🙂 I don’t think I am going to have a very beach-appropriate body for my trip to Australia next month…….sigh……
Love that gorgeous crust on top! And as for the seasonality: I’d eat cranberries all year long, if only the store would keep them in stock. Bring on the cranberry loaf!
so you pick up mandarin peels all over the house too eh? i thought i was the only person who’s family had an mind block when it came to disposing of the peel. I get so bored with saying “have as many oranges as you want but don’t leave the peels all over the house”. Nobody listens…
Cran/orange is my favourite loaf too! Awesome idea with the peel n sugar.
This recipe was very timely. I had half a bag of fresh cranberries in the fridge waiting to be used up. I had some Meyer lemons on hand and decided to combine some of these with some peel and juice from a cara cara orange that I had on hand. The loaf turned out perfectly and has a wonderful flavour and texture.
I just made a couple of these last night. Not this recipe but one with yogurt and dried cranberries instead of fresh. Still it was great. Totally my go-to loaf flavour, I really hope it doesn’t ever go out of fashion (not that I pay attention to fashion much anyway!)
This looks so sunny and fresh, perfect for grey and chilly January.
I also love the cranberry/orange combo and just made a similar loaf — but it was to use up my leftover eggnog, so had a cup of eggnog to which you added orange zest and dried cranberries. Although it was ok, I was disappointed that it didn’t taste more eggnoggy and orangy. I’ll bet the use of OJ would help, at least with the orange flavour.
i have a lot of blog reading to catch up with and am so happy to see all these delicious things on your blog that i can’t wait to make!!
I love Cranberries and will definitely be trying this recipe out soon!
I just saw your muffins on instagram…..do you think this recipe would work in muffin tins?
Thanks.
It should, yes! I’m about to post the muffin recipe now 🙂
Greetings! Very gainful advice within this article! It’s the crumb changes which wish espy the largest changes. Thanks a quantity quest of sharing!
