Orange Cranberry Bread

This is a delicious quick bread, perfect for this time of year.

In a mixer, beat on high 2-3 minutes:
6 T butter
2/3 C sugar

Gradually beat in:
2 eggs

In a different bowl, mix:
1 1/2 C flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt

Combine in another bowl:
1/4 C milk
1/4 C orange juice
Grated zest of one lemon
Grated zest of one orange

Now, add the dry mixture alternating with the liquid mixture on low speed to the butter mixture, just to combined.

Fold in:
2/3 C chopped pecans
1/3 C dried cranberries

Bake in a greased 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch pan (I just use my 9 x 5 bread loaf pan) for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
