Cranberry White Chocolate Quick Bread Mix in a Jar Recipe

Directions:

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 onto 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.
