Helpful Hints

• Check if loaves are cooked through by inserting a toothpick down into the center. If it comes out clean, the loaf is done.
• Refrigeration keeps the berries fresher-tasting in the bread.
• For diabetics, substitute Splenda® Sugar Blend for Baking for sugar and low cholesterol egg product for eggs. 1 slice equals 206 calories, 23 grams carbohydrate, 11 grams fat and 0 mg cholesterol.
• 2-1/2 cups chopped strawberries is approximately 14 ounces.

Has anyone tried this with Spenda? DH is diabetic and if he had that many carbs his sugar would be 400. I have 10 pounds of berries right now so I'm going to try this.

It was really good. And strawberries are kinda cheap right now. I wonder if this bread will freeze well? Has anyone tried that? My husband, being English, eats it with tea.

I had several clients to try this recipe and they say it is wonderful, but they liked it the best 1-2 days after it was baked. Stated it had more flavor and was more moist.

This recipe calls for using two 9"x11" loaf pans. Isn't this an error? I've been cooking for many years and never saw such a loaf pan. Thanks for catching this Helen. Indeed the correct loaf pan size should be 9" x 5". We will make the correction.
