This bread is bursting with blueberries. When fresh fruit is in season, what a great time to bake fruit breads. This bread freezes beautifully. Perfect for those last minute gatherings, quick breakfast, or picnic in the park. I always like to have something in the freezer for those unexpected last minute needs. Great to serve with salads, egg dishes or just plain, as a snack.
