1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup vegetable shortening
3/4 cup orange juice

Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat 9x5x3-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking

Sift flour, sugar, baking powder, soda, and salt into large mixing bowl.
Add shortening and use pastry blender to cut in until texture of cornmeal;
make well in center.
Mix orange juice and zest with egg, dump into well in dry ingredients, and
stir lightly - just enough to moisten. Fold in cranberries and pecans,
again stirring lightly.
Spoon batter into pan, smoothing well to corners and making batter slightly

Cool bread in pan on wire rack 10 minutes, loosen around edge, and turn out
