Almond Poppy Seed Bread

A friend in my ward always gives us this yummy bread for Christmas. I usually hide it and eat it all myself!

3 eggs
1 1/2 tsp. almond extract
1 1/2 cup milk
2 1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 1/8 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 Tbsp. poppy seeds
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 1/2 tsp. salt
3 cups flour

Mix together at medium speed. Pour into two greased loaf pans. Bake at 350 degrees for 60 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Poke holes on top.

Glaze:
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup orange juice or Sunny Delight
1/2 tsp. almond extract
2 Tbsp. melted butter
1/2 tsp. vanilla

Mix well and spoon on top of warm loaves.
