Strawberry Bread

My poor neglected little blog!

Check out this recipe that I got from from Martha Phelps Stamps The New Southern Basics Cookbook.

The bread is gooey. My husband likes it okay. My old College roomie, makes it all the time and loves it. So it will either be a hit or miss with you.

Strawberry Bread

(This will make 2 loaves of bread)

1 cup butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 tsp lemon juice
4 eggs
3 cups all purpose flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1 cup strawberry jam
1 cup chopped walnuts (I think nuts are a waste..but you do what you want)
1/2 cup sour cream


Preheat Oven to 325 Degrees

Prepare loaf pans (grease and flour)

Cream together butter, sugar and lemon juice. Add eggs and beat. In another bowl, sift together flour, salt and baking soda and then mix into butter/sugar mixture. Mix together in another bowl, jam, nuts (optional) and sour cream. Fold into batter. Pour the batter into the loaf bans, bake for "around" an hour. Sorry there is not a precise time to this one. Keep your eye on it! Cool in pans for 10 minutes before placing on the baking rack.

This bread is good toasted as well.
