Clementine Cranberry Biscotti (Jewish)

Clementine Cranberry Biscotti (Jewish)


1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F, then spray a 9"x5" loaf pan generously with non-stick cooking spray.

2. Wash the orange well & cut it into quarters, before pureeing it in a food processor or coffee grinder until smooth ~ You should have 1/2 cup of orange puree, so if it isn't quite enough, add enough orange juice to reach the 1/2 cup measure.

3. In a mixing bowl, blend together the oil, sugar & eggs, then stir in the orange puree, & then the vanilla, mixing well.

4. In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, salt, baking powder & cinnamon, then fold in the wet ingredients, combining well, before folding in the cranberries.

5. Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan & bake 45-55 minutes or until the top seems set & dry ~ HOWEVER, if the loaf is browning too quickly, reduce the heat to 325 degrees F & increase the baking time a little.

6. When done, remove from the oven & allow the loaf to cool completely before removing it from the pan.

7. When completely cooled, wrap the loaf in foil & freeze from 2 hours to overnight.

8. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F & line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

9. Cut the loaf into very thin slices, about 1/8 inch thick, then place the slices on the baking sheets & bake, turning once, for 20-30 minutes, allowing the cookies to brown only lightly.

10. Store in an airtight container.
