Lemon Blueberry Bread


Rating: 3 of 5
Note (concerning my rating): I'm not a huge lemon fan. If I was, the rating would be higher. This is my little brother's favorite dessert.

Ingredients:
•    1/3 cup melted butter
•    1 cup white sugar
•    3 tablespoons lemon juice
•    2 eggs
•    1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
•    1 teaspoon baking powder
•    1 teaspoon salt
•    1/2 cup milk
•    2 tablespoons grated lemon zest
•    1/2 cup chopped walnuts
•    1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
•    2 tablespoons lemon juice
•    1/4 cup white sugar

Directions:
1.    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease an 8x4 inch loaf pan.
2.    In a mixing bowl, beat together butter, 1 cup sugar, juice and eggs. Combine flour, baking powder and salt; stir into egg mixture alternately with milk. Fold in lemon zest, nuts, and blueberries. Pour batter into prepared pan.
3.    Bake in preheated oven for 60 to 70 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center of the loaf comes out clean. Cool bread in pan for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, combine lemon juice and 1/4 cup sugar in a small bowl. Remove bread from pan and drizzle with glaze. Cool on a wire rack.
