Directions

Sift together the dry ingredients. Cut in the shortening. Combine the juice, orange zest, and egg; pour over the sifted dry ingredients and mix with a few quick strokes. Fold in cranberries and nuts, reserving a few almond slices to sprinkle on the top for garnish. Spoon into a loaf pan and garnish. Bake at 350 F for one hour or more. Remove from pan and cool.
