Last week I asked you to send me your favorite bread recipe if you had one and Janine sent her recipe for Strawberry Nut Bread.

Here’s what she sent:

I thought you might like my Strawberry Nut Bread too, a friend shared this with me 35 years ago and I’ve been making it ever since!  Hope you enjoy too.

1 tsp. vanilla
1/4 tsp. lemon extract

1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 cup strawberry jam

Cream butter, sugar, vanilla & lemon extract until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Sift together flour, salt, cream of tartar and soda. Combine jam and sour cream. Add jam mixture alternately with dry ingredients, to creamed mixture; beating until well combined. Stir in nuts.

Well after tasting the bread I can see why Janine has been making it for the last 35 years-it’s really good. I didn’t have any walnuts so I used almonds. I think pecans would work good too. I had to borrow the strawberry jelly from Granny. Strawberry is one of her favorite jellies and she makes so much I know she’s always got an extra jar or two or three! Since she helped out with the ingredients I took her some of the bread. Granny declared it very good too.

  1. Sounds good. I’ll have to try when fresh strawberries come in. Tipper I think you have a walnut cake recipe. We have walnuts from our trees and I wanted to try that cake but can’t locate the recipe from a previous post. Help please. Your banana pudding recipe is great. It’s the only recipe I use for banana pudding. Thanks

  2. Tipper,
    That strawberry bread sure looks good, but a lot of ingredients, but I recon with great care it’s worth it.

    I got lots of walnut trees here at the shop and they all had walnuts. Me and my oldest girl’s family picked up two boxes of walnuts earlier. We had a small tornado come down a few hundred yards from me at Topton a couple years ago and I’m still cleaning up. I stayed down here at the shop the night before and when I went home, I was amazed. …Ken

  3. Sounds yummy, and rich. Would be a great breakfast unless doing heavy work. And in about 6 weeks fresh local strawberries will be available from the ‘high tunnels’. (I only know the name, not how they work.)

  4. That looks and sounds wonderful! I love almost all kinds of sweet bread, after a few days when they start to dry out you can always toast a slice and put a little butter on it!
