REC: Strawberry Bread
 

My neighbor (90+ year old lady named Irene) came up with this recipe and
it's consistantly won blue ribbons at food fairs. She made us a loaf and
it's outstanding, so I'm passing the recipe on to you folks. Enjoy!

Wayne, it's so moist and good! The only thing is that I might want to add a
little orange flavor and maybe a few more strawberries, but it's really
good!

Definitely looks moist. How about a little Grand Marnier or Curaçao? Do
you slice or crush the berries? What kind of nuts do you prefer? I'd
probably opt for pecans or walnuts.

Mac nuts, pecans, walnuts would all work in here. And yes! Grand Marnier!
That would be awesome! Irene sliced the strawberries in this bread; I would
do the same or you'll end up with really large mushy areas from whole
strawberries.

Snipped and saved recipe...

OK, I've consumed many attempts at strawberry bread and none of them were
worth talking about, much less typing. This one sounds like it would be
much better, maybe it's the 2 cups of strawberries that makes the
difference. I'll try it for sure.

Thanks,

BOB

Absolutely! Hope you like it; we devoured our little loaf in about, oh, 5
minutes. LOL.

So this makes two small loaves, as opposed to a regular bread loaf size.

Thanks.

I'm predicting slightly more time here, but not much.
