Here*s a recipe that saves you the trouble of spreading strawberry jam on your morning toast - the strawberries are baked in the bread. You can eat it plain, toasted, or "all dolled-up" as in my recipe. Fresh Strawberry Bread 2 cups (500 ml) fresh strawberries, washed and hulled 1 3/4 cups (430 ml) bread or all purpose flour 1 tsp (5 ml) baking soda 1 tsp (5 ml) salt 1/4 tsp (1 ml) baking powder 3/4 cup (180 ml) sugar 1/3 cup (80 ml) butter 2 eggs 1/3 cup (80 ml) water 1/2 cup (125 ml) chopped walnuts Cream cheese, softened (optional) Ground cinnamon (optional) Crush enough of the strawberries to fill 1 cup (250 ml). Pour into a small saucepan and heat over a medium flame. Bring to a boil and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, then remove from the heat and allow to cool. Slice the remaining strawberries and chill. In a medium bowl combine the flour, baking soda, salt, and baking powder. In a large mixing bowl beat the sugar and butter together and then add the eggs and water, mixing until light and fluffy. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing well to blend. Stir in the crushed strawberries and walnuts. Spoon the mixture into a greased 8x4x4 inch (approx. 20x10x10 cm) loaf pan. Bake in a preheated 350F (180C) oven for 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. When the loaf has cooled in the pa n for 10 minutes, turn onto a rack to cool. Cut into slices, spread with softened cream cheese, add a light dusting of cinnamon, and top with the reserved chilled strawberries. Makes 1 loaf.
