Pecan Rice

Combine water, rice, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat, and simmer 43 to 45 minutes or until rice is tender and liquid is almost absorbed. Combine orange juice, rind, oil, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Gently stir into rice mixture. Stir in cranberries and pecans.
