Almond-Lime Bread....

While browsing through old Christmas books from the 90's, I came across this recipe on a dog-eared page!

Luckily I had all the ingredients on hand!

It'e very simple to make and a perfect afternoon 'pick me up snack' with a cup of tea or coffee!

1 3 oz pkg lime jello, divided

3 c buttermilk baking mix

1/4 c sliced almonds, divided

Glaze:

2 T hot water
