Blueberries - The Sequel

Wild blueberry picking has finally come to an end here. Also picked a few rock cranberries in the same areas, and Harvey is experimenting with some recipes using them. Here's another blueberry one we like.

Lemon Blueberry Loaf

1/4 cup butter or margarine
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1/3 cup yogurt
2 cups flour plus 2 Tbsp
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 Tbsp vanilla
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp cinnamon
juice from half a lemon
lemon zest from half a lemon
1 1/2 cups blueberries

Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs and cream again.
Add yogurt, lemon zest and lemon juice. Mix well.
Add everything except the blueberries and 2 Tbsp of flour. Mix well.
Coat blueberries with flour and gently fold into the batter.
Place in greased loaf pan and bake at 350 F for 1 hour or until tester comes out clean.
