ORANGE NUT LOAF
If you like a citrus taste, this will hit the spot. It tastes great served with honey butter or whipped cream cheese spread on a slice. (This bread loaf is much better if stored overnight before serving.)

Tips:
- Choose the right oranges. For the best flavor, use navel oranges that are ripe and juicy. Clementines or tangerines can also be used, but they may have a slightly different flavor.
- Zest the oranges before juicing them. This will release the aromatic oils from the peel and give the loaf a more intense orange flavor.
- Use fresh nuts. Chopped walnuts, pecans, or almonds are all good choices for this loaf. Toasting the nuts before adding them to the batter will enhance their flavor.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the loaf tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
- Bake the loaf at the right temperature. The loaf should be baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about an hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the loaf cool before glazing it. This will help the glaze set and prevent it from running off the loaf.
