Cranberry Bread

1 orange - use both the juice and the rind
2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 egg, beaten
1 cup fresh cranberries, halved
1 cup chopped walnuts

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
Grease and flour one 9 x 5-inch loaf pan.
Grate the rind of the orange. Squeeze the juice into a measuring cup, and add the rind and enough hot water to equal 3/4 cup.
Sift the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda in a medium-size mixing bowl.
Add the juice with water and rind, the butter, and egg to the dry ingredients. Mix well.
Stir in the cranberries and nuts.
Pour into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 45 to 60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
