Dried Blueberry-orange Quick Bread

Bags of babies are found by trash compactors (as we all know); yet on the other side of this, a wounded American eagle was found recently in Maryland and rushed to emergency treatment. However, it died and a $5,000 reward was offered for the arrest of whoever injured it. It is illegal to ship a pregnant lobster: it's a $1,000 fine. In the State of Massachusetts there is an anti-cruelty law that makes it illegal to award a goldfish as a prize. Why? This is what it says, "To protect the tendency to dull humanitarian feelings and to corrupt morals of those who abuse them." The same people that want to save the goldfish are leading the parade, usually, to kill the babies.

Placed the dried blueberries and orange juice in a small saucepan and
bring to a boil. Remove from heat and let sit 30 minutes, then drain.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Butter a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan. Mix
together the brown sugar, pecans, flour, butter, orange zest, and
cinnamon in a small bowl and set aside. In a medium bowl stir  together
the milk, vanilla, butter, and egg until smooth. Sift the  flour,
baking powder, and salt together and fold into the wet  ingredients.
Fold in the reserved blueberries and orange zest. Scrape  the batter
into the prepared pan and sprinkle with the topping. Bake  for
approximately 50 minutes until the topping is golden brown (if a
toothpick is inserted into the center it should come out clean). Cool
in the pan on a wire rack for 5 minutes and remove. Â© 1997 Lifetime
