I have this collection of cute little shaped cookbooks – I have made many recipes from the fruit ones, and not been disappointed. Strawberries are a great price at the stores. I thought of these cute little vintage recipe books I had with fruit as the main subject. Judith Bosley 1991.
Our friends are having a large yard sale this weekend so I want to take them some bread for an easy breakfast for them. I decided to try this Strawberry Bread. This was easy to put together. The bread is moist and delicious. I added a couple of things to the topping. The topping called for only cream cheese, and a bit of the strawberry juice. I tasted it and thought, “meh, let’s see what I have in the pantry” : Oils, extracts and flavorings are always something I like to turn to to add a bit of zing to a recipe. Banana vodka (1 Tbsp), and 1 Tbsp of powdered sugar. I used a mixer to get the icing to the correct consistency. Add this to the bread while it is warm so that it drizzles over the sides. I added chopped strawberries to the top of each slice. I used walnuts for the nutmeats in this recipe.
2 extra ingredients to icing. This is up to you, if you want to add to the flavor. I use the airplane size bottles, because they are inexpensive, and you do not have to worry about what to do with rest of bottle
I have an abundance of fruit, and I’m scanning these books. Next on my list is the Blueberry Pineapple Bread and the Banana Blueberry Bread. Oh, and the Blueberry Lemon bread and………..
