The Jar House Cranberry and Orange Beer Bread Mix

The Jar House Cranberry and Orange Beer Bread Mix makes homemade bread feel wonderfully straightforward. Packed with cranberries, sultanas, orange and warming spices, it brings a properly festive flavour to the table without needing to measure out lots of ingredients first.

Just tip the mix into a bowl, add a beer and the juice of one orange, then stir and bake in a loaf tin. There’s no kneading or proving, so it’s the kind of bake you can easily fit into a busy afternoon when you still want something homemade and a bit special.

Lovely sliced as it is or served with butter or cheese, it also makes a thoughtful gift for a keen home baker. The finished loaf has a cosy, seasonal feel that works just as well for Christmas gatherings as it does for easy suppers and relaxed weekend baking.
