Okay, the original recipe was a jumping off point, so I changed it quite a bit. It wasn't even lemon or blueberry, LOL

****************************************************************

Lemon-Blueberry Bread

Makes two large loaves (6 cup pan)

Spray pans with Pam (or coat with butter/shortening) and heat oven to 325 degrees.

Whisk together and set aside
4 cups AP flour
1 Tbsp b. powder
1/8 tsp. b. soda
Pinch of salt

Cream together until light and fluffy
1.5 cups butter
1.5 cups sugar

Add one at a time, beating between each
4 eggs

Blend in
Juice of two lemons, plus enough milk to make one cup
1 cup sour cream
Zest from two lemons
2 tsp. lemon extract

Add flour mixture and 1.5 cups dried blueberries, mix until just blended.

Divide batter into pans and bake 70-75 min.

Glaze with powdered sugar, thinned out with limoncello (you could use triple sec or lemon juice/milk)

*********************************************************

You could also use fresh blueberries, but they will be wetter in the bread (you might want to cut back the liquids a bit) and they will cause the bread to be bluish. I use dried so I don't discolor the bread for judging.

LOL at Tuckered!

Ditto on retrieving the ceramic eggs. I would be moving that dead snake off with a pitchfork and no touching it for me!

Sorry to hear you are giving up chickens (possibly) Mahonri. You have always been a bright shining light on BYC.

Thanks for the recipe debs_flock! I am going to adapt that with some frozen blackberries from last summer and lemon extract/flavor, and heavy cream instead of sour (what I have on hand). Maybe tomorrow! Yum!
