Preparation

In a bowl combine cranberries with enough hot water to cover and soak 5 minutes.
Drain and pat dry with paper towels.
Blend flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
Add eggs and vanilla, beating until a dough forms (takes a while!).
Stir in cranberries and pistachios.
Turn dough onto lightly floured surface.
Knead several times and divide dough.
Working on large greased and floured baking sheet, with floured hands, form each piece of dough into log, 13 inches long and 2 inches wide, flatten top.
Arrange logs three inches apart on sheet and brush with egg wash.
Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes at 325\u00b0 and let cool on the baking sheet on a rack for 10 minutes.
