Recipe of the day - Mandarin Orange Nut Loaf


 This month's cookbook is one that belonged to Grandmother.  "Home Cooking Secrets of Monroe".  It was put out, as a fundraiser I imagine, by the Monroe Junior Woman's Club.  There's no date on it, but I'm thinking it's late 60's or early 70's.  While reading it, I recognized lots of names in there. Some are people I know and some are names I just remember hearing at one time or another.  

There are lots of fun recipes in here.  I made this one a few weeks ago and did enjoy it.  It smelled divine baking in the oven.  I will try it again and probably tweak it just a tad.  Enjoy!

Mandarin Orange Nut Loaf

1 11oz can mandarin oranges, drain and save juices

3/4 cup sugar

1 egg

1/4 cup milk

3 cups Bisquick

1/2 cup chopped nuts (I used pecans)

Measure reserved juice and add water to make 1 cup.  Mix with sugar, egg and milk.  Add Bisquick and beat 1/2 minute.  Stir in nuts and oranges.  Bake in greased floured loaf pan at 350 for 50 minutes.


*The next time I make this, I think I am going to roughly chop the oranges so that they are more even distributed throughout the loaf.
