STRAWBERRY BREAD
2 1/4 c fresh strawberries hulled and chopped
2 c all purpose flour
1/2 c white sugar
1/4 c brown sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
2 large eggs
1/2 c vegetable oil
1 tsp vanilla
STRAWBERRY BUTTER
1/2 c unsalted butter (1 stick)
2 Tbsp powdered sugar
1/4 c fresh strawberries hulled and finely chopped

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour 9×5 inch loaf pan.
2. Sprinkle 2 1/4 cups chopped strawberries lightly with a little bit of the measured sugar; set aside. In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt and baking soda.
3. In a large bowl beat the eggs, then add oil and vanilla. Stir in the strawberries that you set aside. Add the flour mixture to the strawberry mixture in three parts; stirring just until combined after each part.
4. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the top comes out clean.
5. Using mixer whip butter until creamy and light. Beat in powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Fold in 1/4 cup chopped strawberries.
