Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup cranberries fresh or frozen
  • ½ cup blueberries fresh or frozen
  • zest from 1 orange
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • ½ cup white sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup butter softened
  • 1 egg
  • ½ cup buttermilk
  • 1 ½ cups flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • pinch of teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • In a large bowl combine butter, egg and sugar. Add vanilla.
  • In another bowl combine all the dry ingredients. Slowly add dry to wet mixture. Add orange zest.
  • Slowly pour buttemilk and mix a batter. Add berries and stir. Pur the bater into the greased loaf pan.
  • Bake for about 60 minutes.

Notes

  • If you're using frozen berries, consider tossing them in a light dusting of flour before adding them to the batter. This can help prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the loaf.
  • Every oven can vary slightly. It's a good idea to start checking the bread for doneness around the 55-minute mark to prevent over-baking.
  • Allowing the bread to cool fully before slicing will give it the best texture and will make slicing easier.
  • When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix just until incorporated to avoid overmixing. Overmixing can lead to a denser bread.
  • If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can make a quick substitute by adding 1 teaspoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to a ½ cup of regular milk. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes, and it's ready to use.
  • This bread pairs beautifully with a light glaze made from powdered sugar and a bit of orange juice or with a spread of cream cheese.
