- For Gift
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (I use fresh grated, but ground is fine)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup pecans, chopped
- For Making the bread
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 tablespoon milk
Method
- To make the gift jar: Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt and then spoon into a quart-sized jar with a tight-fitting lid. (I use a wide-mouth funnel to easily get the ingredients into the jar.) Tap the jar gently on the counter top to settle the flour.
- Combine the sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger and pour over the flour in the jar.
- Continue the layers with the dried cranberries, then the white chocolate chips and finally the pecans. Put the lid on the jar and decorate as desired.
- To make bread: Preheat oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 9x 5 loaf pan.
- Pour all the dry ingredient from the jar into a large mixing bowl and stir to combine.
- In a small bowl, use a fork to beat the eggs lightly and then add the sour cream. Continue mixing with the fork until the sour cream is incorporated.
- Add the melted butter to the dry ingredients and then add the egg and sour cream mixture. Stir just until combined.
- Spread into prepared loaf pan and bake in preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until toothpick inserted near center comes out clean.
- Cool 10 minutes in pan and then turn out onto a cooling rack (with a layer of foil or waxed paper under the rack, to keep your counter clean.).
- Stir together powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Drizzle or spread over top of loaf. Serve immediately or cool completely before slicing, to keep the slices looking nice.
