Blueberry Orange Bread

Recipe Description

I love the combination of blueberries and orange. I used frozen berries that I had frozen over the summer when I got a great deal on them. I use the zest of a whole orange and I add about 1 cup of blueberries instead of what the recipe calls for.

Preparation Steps:Level of Difficulty:

Easy

Time Needed:Ingredients:

2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 egg
1/2 cup orange juice
1/3 cup water
2 tbsps butter, melted
2 tbsps grated orange zest
3/4 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

Serves:

Makes 1 loaf

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350º.

Combine the first five ingredient in a large bowl and set aside.

In another bowl, combine the egg, orange juice, water, butter and orange peel. Add to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the blueberries.

Pour into a greased and floured 8×4 loaf pan.

Bake for 65-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes then remove from pan to a wire rack to finish cooking.

I wonder how this would be with lemon vs. orange.

I think I'll try it with the orange and then later with lemon.

Mahalo - what a mouth watering recipe!

One question - I've dehydrated blueberries, but never used them. Do you rehydrate them or use them frozen in your recipe? TIA

[nancycg56]

I don't know much about dehydrated fruit but I don't see why they wouldn't work. Whenever I use frozen fruit, I use it frozen.

HTH!
