Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (i use fresh grated, but ground is fine)

• 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup pecans, chopped
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1/4 cup butter, melted
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1/2 tablespoon milk

Recipe

• 1 to make the gift jar: sift together the flour, baking powder and salt and then spoon into a quart-sized jar with a tight-fitting lid. (i use a wide-mouth funnel to easily get the ingredients into the jar.) tap the jar gently on the counter top to settle the flour.
• 2 combine the sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger and pour over the flour in the jar.
• 3 continue the layers with the dried cranberries, then the white chocolate chips and finally the pecans. put the lid on the jar and decorate as desired.
• 4 to make bread: preheat oven to 350°f and lightly grease a 9x 5 loaf pan.
• 5 pour all the dry ingredient from the jar into a large mixing bowl and stir to combine.
• 6 in a small bowl, use a fork to beat the eggs lightly and then add the sour cream. continue mixing with the fork until the sour cream is incorporated.
• 7 add the melted butter to the dry ingredients and then add the egg and sour cream mixture. stir just until combined.
• 8 spread into prepared loaf pan and bake in preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until toothpick inserted near center comes out clean.
• 9 cool 10 minutes in pan and then turn out a cooling rack (with a layer of foil or waxed paper under the rack, to keep your counter clean.).
• 10 stir together powdered sugar and milk until smooth. drizzle or spread over top of loaf. serve immediately or cool completely before slicing, to keep the slices looking nice.
