Kindergarten Scavenger Hunt

Cranberry Thanksgiving

We read the story Cranberry Thanksgiving this week in class.  The story has a good lesson on not judging people based on their appearance as well as being able to talk about traditions and Thanksgiving as being together as a family and not being concerned with things like if the silver spoons match. 

The kids were able to try the recipe.  I would say the majority of them asked for seconds but there were a few that didn't care for it.  Personally, I thought it was good but I like cranberries. 

Here is the recipe to the bread from the book.

Grandmother's Famous Cranberry Bread

(Get Mother to help)

2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup butter or margarine
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon grated orange peel
3/4 cup orange juice
1 1/2 cup light raisins 
1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries, chopped


Sift flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda into a large bowl. Cut in butter until mixture is crumbly. Add egg, orange peel, and orange juice all at once; stir just until mixture is evenly moist. Fold in raisins and cranberries.

Spoon into a greased 9x5x3-inch loaf pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour and 10 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Remove from pan; cool on a wire rack.

If you choose, you may substitute cranberries for the raisins to have an all cranberry bread.

Kindergarten Fun!
