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.

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.
