Betty's Strawberry Bread


Another great recipe from my mother-in-law, Betty. We hadn't made this since college - long overdue. It's simple and delicious. Just think banana bread, only with...can you guess? Strawberries!

We kept the strawberries whole for this one, but you could blend them, chop them, or do half chopped and half whole. I kind of like the big bites of strawberry you get when you bite into the bread.

This made two lovely loaves.

3 cups flour
2 cups sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
4 eggs, beaten
2 16 oz packages frozen strawberries, thawed
1/4 cup vegetable oil

Preheat the oven to 350.

Mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl, then stir in the eggs. Stir in the strawberries - this will significantly moisten the dough. Stir until evenly mixed, then stir in the oil until incorporated. Divide between two bread pans. Cook in the oven for 1 hour.
