STRAWBERRY PRESERVES BREAD

Strawberry Preserves Bread image

I got this receipe from "The Texas Experience" cookbook. I've tweaked it to my personal preferences and I'm very pleased with the results. It's a very tender bread with a subtle hint of strawberry flavor. I used Imitation Strawberry Extract because that's all I could find locally. If you try it please let me know if you're pleased with the results also.
