BLUEBERRY QUICK BREAD WITH VANILLA SAUCE

Blueberry Quick Bread with Vanilla Sauce image

This loaf is chock-full of blueberries-two whole cups! When you pour the vanilla sauce over the bread, it makes it moist--almost like a pudding. I suggest serving a robust cup of coffee with this delicious treat. -Sue Davis, Wausau, Wisconsin
