This is an old fashion blueberry orange bread recipe, so delicious and easy to make.
Years ago our elders made many types of breads and all by hand with only a few simple ingredients. This bread today is much like your quick loaf cake but made to be eaten with a meal or on its own.
Blueberries is so healthy for you fresh or frozen and here in Newfoundland and Labrador we pick them from August to October and make so many tasty recipes from them. Plus we freeze them to eat all year round, I have many recipes available here and on our Youtube channel for cakes, puddings, jams and jellies for you to make and enjoy!
Make a quick infused butter by adding one tablespoon of orange juice and zest to two tablespoons of soft butter or margarine.
Boil the kettle and get ready for a nice cup of hot tea and a slice of our BLUEBERRY ORANGE BREAD with a small amount of orange butter spread.
So amazing!
