"This bread, is a delicious combination of blueberry and lemon zest. The whole bread is filled with delicious blueberries with a lemon zest crispy crumble on top. also if you want to make it into a crumb, it works very well in a smaller set pan as well!"

Wish I could give this more than 5 stars! Not only did it taste great, the house smelled fantastic while it was baking. I was a bit concerned that the batter was so thick, but no worries it turned out fine. Thanks for sharing!

Wonderful! Used frozen blueberries and since I didn't have a lemon for zest, I used 1/2 TBS lemon juice and a pinch of orange zest. It did take a bit longer to bake (maybe from the frozen berries?) about 65 minutes. Made for Fall PAC '08. Thanks for dessert!

quite good. The batter seemed a bit thin, and I worried that I might have missed a cup of flour, but it turned out fine. The instructions at step 5 refer to adding lemon zest not included in the bread ingrediants (so I just added a teaspoon of zest here, too).
