Strawberry Jam Quick Bread

Ingredients Needed:

  • Flour + Salt + Baking Powder
  • Sugar
  • Butter
  • Vanilla
  • Lemon juice
  • Eggs
  • Milk
  • Strawberry jam

Lemon Juice? Yes. It doesn’t add any lemon flavor to the bread. It does, however, help the jam from getting brown.

Butter: Be sure it’s softened!

Strawberry Jam: If desired, you can go with another variety of jam ( mixed berry, blueberry, raspberry, etc) Go with your favorite brand or make it homemade.

Can I Freeze It?

Yes. Store the cooled quick bread in a freezer safe covered container/storage bag. It will stay good for a couple of months.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cup flour

  • ½ teaspoon vanilla
  • ¼ teaspoon lemon juice
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup strawberry jam plus, additional for topping
  • ¼ cup milk

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9 in loaf pan.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, whisk flour, salt, and baking powder. Set aside.
  • In a separate bowl, combine sugar, lemon juice, butter, and vanilla. Mix until fluffy. Add in eggs. Stir in jam and milk.
  • Mix dry ingredients into wet ingredients. Mix until no dry spots are left in the batter. Spoon batter into prepared pan.
  • Spoon approx 1/4 cup jam on top of batter and swirl with knife.
  • Bake for 45-50 minutes or until knife inserted comes out clean. Cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing.

Great recipe. I used 4T olive oil and 4T applesauce. Added 2ounces chopped almonds and 1ounce chopped candied ginger. Baked in an 8 slot mini bread pan about 20 minutes. Used Smucker's. Great texture.
