CRANBERRY BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees; butter and flour a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan (8-cup capacity), and set aside. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside. In a medium bowl, combine butter, egg, and milk. Add wet mixture to dry mixture, and whisk to combine; fold in cranberries.
• Pour batter into prepared pan; sprinkle top with turbinado sugar, if desired. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center of loaf comes out clean, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack; let bread cool 30 minutes. Invert onto rack, then immediately turn right side up to cool completely.

CRANBERRY SOUP

Steps:

• In a heavy soup kettle, melt the butter. Gently saute the chopped onions, celery and carrots until the vegetables are soft. Add the chicken broth. Rinse the hot pepper under running water to remove the seeds and inner white membrane. Add to the broth, together with the bay leaf and several grinds of pepper.
• Rinse the cranberries and pick them over to remove any that are spoiled. Roughly chop the berries on a wooden board or process them briefly in a food processor. Add to the broth and let simmer gently over low heat until the cranberries are soft and disintegrating into the broth.
• Add the cider to the broth. Mix well and simmer gently for 10 minutes. Serve hot, garnished with sour cream if desired. The soup may also be prepared ahead of time and reheated before serving.
