Lemon Loaf
One of my Mom's original recipes the card says (Pat Berman), not sure who this is but I think it is from either a friend or a cousin in Canada. My mother comes from a French Canadian back ground with many relatives still living their. My sister Laurel who lives in North Carolina had been looking for this recipe for some time and the last time she visited Michigan she asked me if I had it. Looking through the many recipes I have from my Mom took some time, but I finally located it and E-mailed it to her. Many of my Moms recipe cards are not written in the traditional format but written more like a story so you have to read through it before you attempt making it. This one for instance did not explain you had to cook the glaze before you pour it over the warm loaf. It also had listed 1/2 cup walnuts. Lemon and walnuts just didn't seem to meld together so I eliminated them. This is a wonderfully moist loaf of lemon bread that goes perfectly with a cup of tea or glass of milk.
