Ingredients
1/3 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract  A great way to use all that tasty spring PEI rhubarb!
2 cups all-purpose flour
1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 cup orange juice
1 cup chopped fresh or frozen rhubarb

In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add eggs, one at a time,
beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Combine the flour, baking
powder, baking soda, salt, ginger and nutmeg; add to creamed mixture
alternately with orange juice. Fold in the rhubarb, almonds and orange peel.
Transfer to a greased 9-in. x 5-in. x 3-in. loaf pan. Bake at 350° for
55-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack.
If using frozen rhubarb, measure rhubarb while still frozen, then
thaw completely. Drain in a colander, but do not press liquid out.
