- Mix all ingredients except blueberries in a large bowl and stir well.
- Grease and flour bread pans.

- Allow bread to cool for 10 minutes in pans before removing.
- Pour glaze over bread, spreading with a knife or a spoon. If any drips off, try to put it back on the top of the bread using your spoon.
Orange Glaze

- Cook until sugar dissolves. Stirring often. Set aside to pour over bread once it cools.
