   2       c            Cranberries -- fresh or frozen
   1       c            Milk
   1       ea           Egg -- lg, slightly beaten
     1/4   c            Butter -- melted
   1       t            Orange peel -- grated
   2       c            Unbleached flour
   1       c            Sugar
   1       t            Baking powder
     1/2   t            Salt
   1 1/2   c            Cheddar -- md, shredded
     1/2   c            Walnuts -- coarsely chopped

  Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. then grease a 9 X 5-inch loaf pan;
  set aside.  Cut the cranberries in half and set aside in a small bowl.
   In a medium bowl, combine the milk, egg, butter, and orange peel and
  set aside. Sift the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt into a large
  bowl.  Add the halved cranberries, cheese and nuts.  Toss with a fork
  to distribute.  Add the milk mixture all at once and stir the flour
  mixture until just moistened.  Turn into the prepared loaf pan and
  bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes in the preheated oven or until a wooden
  pick inserted in the center comes out clean.  Cool in the pan on a
  rack for 10 minutes, then remove from the pan.  Cool to room
  temperature on the wire rack before slicing.
