Ingredients

2 cups all purpose flour
¾ cup granulated sugar
1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
zest and juice of 2 clementines
¾ cup GayLea sour cream
1 large egg
3 tablespoon grape seed oil
1 cup chopped cranberries

For the Glaze

1 cup icing sugar
zest of 1 clementine
2 tablespoon clementine juice

Instructions

For the Loaf

Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl.
In a large bowl, stir together zest, juice of clementines, sour cream, egg, oil and cranberries.
Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and stir to combine.
To make a single loaf, pour batter into a buttered loaf pan.
To make mini-loaves, divide batter into mini-loaf pans.
Bake in 350F oven. Bake loaf for 50-60 minutes. For mini-loaves bake for 15-20 minutes. Until toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Remove from pan and let cool completely before topping with glaze.

For the glaze

Combine icing sugar and zest.
Stir in 1 tablespoon clementine juice and add more, to obtain the consistency you like.
With a fork, drizzle the glaze over the loaf/loaves.
Let the glaze set up and serve.

Notes

The loaves can be made in advance and frozen before the glaze is added. Wrap and freeze.
Remove from freezer and bring to room temperature and glaze as instructed above...then wrap and give to friends and family.
If not freezing, keep it in an air-tight container for 1 week...I promise they will not last that long.
