In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the zest and juice from the Oranges (3) , Eggs (2) , Sour Cream (1/3 cup) , and Vanilla Extract (1/2 Tbsp) . Pour into the flour mixture and mix gently until just combined.

Fold in the Fresh Cranberries (1 1/2 cups) and the Roasted Walnuts (1/2 cup) .

Step 6

Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour until a toothpick comes out clean.
