Strawberry bread is the perfect sweet bread for those last minute, I need something delicious in two hours times. You will never go wrong with this bread. It turns out soft and fluffy every time. The one thing that I recommend is that you grease and flour the pans, as my bread wants to stick most of the time.

Strawberry bread is really tasty. This is a fun little recipe if you are just having people over for a little get together. This amazing bread goes with almost anything. You could use it for a baby shower or a birthday party. I think it is also perfect for Easter in a few days. If you don’t want something that is too sweet, but you need something for a dessert, look no further.

I made this bread and my cute little granddaughter that is almost one, loved it. She would get mad every time that her mother would not share with her. Ha ha, she is a smart little girl I would say.

And my son that moved to Idaho, his cute little guy is starting to talk. His mom asked him to sit down, she said you need to get into your seat and he kept saying “sheat”. Ha ha it didn’t sound like sit. I had to ask my son if he was turning his 18 month old son into a farmer already.

Let’s just tell it like it is, sometimes those cows can make you say bad words. How do I know? I use to milk cows!! Yep, sometimes those words just come out. I don’t milk cows now and I don’t use those words. I guess my grandson can get away with it while he is young. It is cute when you don’t know what you are saying and you don’t have to get pepper on your tongue. xoxo

 

How Do I Choose the Best Strawberries?

 

Look for Bright Red Berries:

• Strawberries don’t continue to ripen after they are picked.
• Look for berries that are bright red from top to bottom.

 

Check for Fresh Green Leaves:

• After the berries are picked, the green leaves will start to dry and wilt.
• The longer the berries have been picked, the more the leaves will be wilted.
• Fresh green leaves mean that the berries are also fresh.

 

Look for Plump Berries:

• If the berries are starting to look “dry” or shriveled, they are getting old.

 

Size Doesn’t Matter:

• Different varieties of strawberries grow to different sizes.
• Weather and growing conditions can also affect the size of strawberries.
• Smaller berries are often sweeter, but bigger berries are delicious, too!

 

Look for No Signs of Mold:

• If you can see one moldy berry in the box, there are probably more.
• Mold on the berries means they are starting to rot.
• Even if most of the berries in the box aren’t moldy, they are all probably starting to go bad.

 

Look at the Berries you can see From the Top and the Bottom of the Box:

• Sometimes, a “bad” berry can be at the bottom of the box.
• Make sure all the berries you can see look red, ripe, and fresh.

 

 

 

 

So, with Easter coming up I hope that you will try this amazing strawberry bread. It is perfect this time of the year when the strawberries are nice and fresh. One thing that you just might want to do also, is wait until the bread has time to cool down before you dig into it. If not, it tends to fall apart. So if you can be patient, just wait to cut into it.

Strawberry bread is a lot better than all that candy. And you can just put it into the loaf pan, bake it and enjoy. You don’t need to frost it or anything. I hope that you all have a wonderful Easter and that we can remember what Easter is truly about. Also, take some time to enjoy good food and family.
