Instructions

  1. In a bowl, place the sliced strawberries. Sprinkle the slices with the 2 tablespoons of sugar. Place in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight. This will create a nice syrup with the berries.
  2. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  3. Blend together the flour, 1 cup sugar, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
  4. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the oil, vanilla, eggs, strawberry slices and its syrup. Dump the strawberry mixture into the flour mixture, and mix just until blended.
  5. Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan (9 inches x 5 inches) and bake for approximately 50 minutes.
  6. HINTS: This bread is lovely with cream cheese. Egg substitute (like Egg Beaters) can be used instead of the eggs - just make sure you use the equivalent of 2 eggs. Chef Walter suggests variations of adding 1 1/2 cup chopped pecans or a bit of cinnamon to the batter, if you like.
