Intro to Indexing

Okay, here is my big plug for Indexing. For those of you who are not aware of what Indexing is or what this may entail, please follow the link below.

In the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, the members believe in helping those who have already passed on who have not had the opportunity to learn about the gospel of Jesus Christ in its fullness. If you like more information about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, aka, "Mormon", please go to mormon.org

Please do not feel that you need to be a member of this religion to assist in Indexing! There are several ways that members, and those who are not members of this faith, can help in this work!!!

        

Indexing for Beginners

Cranberry-Orange Loaves

Cranberry-Orange Loaves  - adapted from the Martha Stewart website

Ingredients: 

*2 sticks unsalted butter

*3 1/2 cups GF Flour-From Land O’ Lakes* website

*1 tablespoon baking powder

*1 teaspoon fine salt

*1 cup whole milk

*2 Tbsp grated orange zest plus 10 tablespoons orange juice, divided

*2 cups granulated sugar

*4 large eggs

*1 1/2 cups dried cranberries, chopped

*2 cups confectioners' sugar

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and “flour” 12 2 1/2-by-4 1/2-inch loaf pans, 3 regular loaf pans, or use cupcake liners for muffins. (I like to do 2 pans (24) muffins and 1 loaf pan.) Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, mix together milk and 1/2 cup juice. In a large bowl, using a mixer, beat butter and granulated sugar on medium-high until light and fluffy, 8 minutes. Add zest, then eggs, one at a time, beating well and scraping down bowl as needed. With mixer on low, add flour mixture in three additions, alternating with milk mixture; beat until combined. Fold in cranberries.

Step 2

Transfer batter to prepared pans and bake until a skewer inserted in center comes out with a few moist crumbs, 45 to 50 minutes for loaf pan, 22-28 minutes for muffins. Let loaf pan(s) cool in pans on a wire rack set in a rimmed baking sheet, 30 minutes. For muffins, cool in pan 5-10 minutes, then remove to rack. Remove loaves from pans and let cool completely on rack.

Step 3

Whisk confectioners' sugar and remaining 2 tablespoons juice to make glaze. Drizzle over loaves and let stand until set. (Store in airtight containers, 3 days, or freeze unglazed, 3 weeks.)
