CRANBERRY COCONUT ORANGE BREAD

Steps:

• Sift together dry ingredients and cut in shortening. When shortening has been incorporated add orange juice, eggs and coconut. When all ingredients have been mixed smoothly together, fold in cranberries.
• Spray two loaf pans with cooking spray and fill 3/4 full with batter. Bake in a 350 degree oven for one hour (check it at 50 min) or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. Be careful not to over cook - as this will be dry.
• After removing from the oven, separate the bread from the sides of the pans with a knife and turn out loaves onto a cooling rack. Let sit at least 3 hours before cutting. If you try to cut the bread when it's hot, it will fall apart on you :-).
