Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350F. Lightly grease the bottom of a 9x5x3 loaf pan (I am using mini loaf pans). Cream together the sugar, shortening and eggs (add them one at a time)
- 2. In a separate bowl combine the flour, wheat germ, baking powder, soda, salt and nutmeg.
- 3. Zest 1 Tablespoon of the oranges. Squeeze 1/2 cup of orange juice. Mix the orange juice and the vanilla together.
- 4. Alternate mixing batches of dry ingredients with the juice. Stir in pecans, rhubarb and orange zest.
- 5. Spoon batter into pan(s). Let stand 20 minutes before baking. Bake 50 minutes to 1 hour or until tested and the center comes out clean. Cool before eating. Wrap the loaf(s) in plastic wrap and store in the fridge. It's even better the second day. Serve with nutmeg butter.
