Moist Lemon Bread with Citrus Glaze

Crisp, clean, refreshing. Lemon has to be one of the best flavors out there.
My parents have practically an orchard of fruit trees in their backyard. I'm lucky enough to reap the benefits of those trees. 
We literally have lemons year round- but this time of year the branches on the orange and lemon trees are practically bending in half, barely able to hold the weight of all the fruit.

My dream is to have a house in which we have as many fruit trees as my parents property. Until then, my parents love giving away the fruit, especially when it goes to good use like this Moist Lemon Bread with Citrus Glaze!
This bread is tender, moist, and has the perfect amount citrus flavor. Great with tea or topped with some vanilla ice cream!
