Baby Shower Orange Bread

Preheat oven to 325ºF. Grease a 9x5x3 loaf pan.

Wash oranges well. Cut in half and juice, reserving juice for the glaze. Remove peels, cut in 1/2-inch pieces and place only the peels with the water in a blender. Blend until peel is chopped well.

Place the mixture from the blender and the granulated sugar in a saucepan and heat to a boil. Boil for 10 -12 minutes. Cool.

Beat the rest of ingredients together with the cooled orange mixture in a large bowl on medium speed for 1-2 minutes until mixed.

Pour into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes.

Cool for 10 minutes on a wire rack and remove from the pan. Return the loaf to the wire rack, placed over waxed paper.

To make thin glaze, whisk orange juice, vanilla and powdered sugar together in a bowl, making sure there are no powdered sugar lumps remaining. Spoon glaze over the loaf and spread as needed with a knife. Repeat several times if needed, with remaining glaze.

Let the loaf cool completely before slicing.
