Here's a close-up of the teapot, sugar and creamer. The set has six teacups and saucers and also teabag holders. Isn't it perfect for Sandi's 3rd year blog anniversary party at Rose Chintz Cottage?
I'm having some White Chocolate Obsession tea today from Bigelow. It sure satisfies the chocolate fix!
A book on tea is always fun to read! Aren't the little teabag holders sweet?
How about some cranberry nut bread with a cream cheese spread?
 |
I used some clean cans like I did in the olden days! |
2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 t. baking powder
1 t. salt
1/2 t. baking soda
3/4 cup orange juice
2 T. vegetable oil
1 T. orange zest
1 egg, well beaten
1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup chopped nuts
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Grease a 9 x 5 -inch loaf pan.
Mix all the dry ingredients in a bowl. Stir in the orange juice, oil, orange zest and egg. Mix until well blended. Stir in cranberries and nuts. Spread evenly in loaf pan. Bake for 55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool on wire rack for 15 minutes before removing from pan; cool completely.
NOTE: For the tin cans, I baked them for about 35 minutes and I got 3 and 1/2 cans out of the recipe.
Tip: I always have a few extra bags of cranberries in my freezer.
I am sharing with these lovely parties:
Thank you for visiting my kitchen!
The bread sounds delicious! I love the tea set too, they are beautiful and you have it displayed so pretty ♥
ReplyDeleteKitty, a perfect bread to go with a cup of tea. The tea set is so pretty and feminine.
ReplyDeleteI love the presentation. I like to use cans too. XO Linda
That's a beautiful teaset, Kitty, and absolutely perfect for Sandi's Rose party. The bread looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteHi Kitty,
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely tea set from your friends! Such pretty roses and perfect for today's tea party! Your bread looks scrumptious. My mother used to make a bread or pudding in tin cans but I cannot remember which. I had forgotten about it until I saw yours. Storing extra bags of cranberries in the freezer; a wonderful idea! Thank you for coming to tea today. I always enjoy your company and have a beautiful day, my friend.
Blessings,
Sandi
Hi Kitty
ReplyDeleteI'm not so sure about a chocolate tea taking care of the craving but it does sound delightful. It's always a special treat when friends buy us something tea related and your new set is adorable.
I haven't used cans to bake anything in for a long time but surely did in my olden days too! :-)

What a beautiful gift! Your teaset is gorgeous. And I love the recipe. I am going to try it soon. I like to use the cans for breads like this. Of course one of my addictions is the Boston Brown bread in the can. Oh, I just love it slathered with cream cheese! I hope you are having a fun day!

What a wonderful tea party you have created for Sandi, Kitty!
ReplyDeleteI see she mentioned your gift of eggnog tea in her post today. It made me smile.
You are such a dear heart.
Gorgeous!! I'm not a solid tea drinker, except for iced tea. I do enjoy it in the cold weather or when I don't feel well. I used to collect tea pots and tea cups, however, I really don't have the room for them now. Sad ~ :(
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the recipe too! Will definitely be making this.
Your blog looks great...of course, I always love red with black & white. :)
