Hello, all...
I've really enjoyed the juicy, large and sweet strawberries this summer.
Only problem is....we eat them as fast as we get them....
and then, when I find a great recipe using them,
I am OUT....
I found this recipe on line
When I realized I had only a couple tablespoons of fresh strawberries
and this recipe called for 1 1/2 cups,
I searched for more fruit and came up with a lone apple...a little bitty apple at that.
I chopped up that little apple and came up with one cup of fruit so....
I just went for it.
I always sprinkle a little
FRUIT FRESH on fresh fruit, especially apples...it keeps the fruit from turning brown.
....this is a crazy photo...there's black and white canisters behind
the clear glass mixing bowl and it all looks wonky in the photo....
...this batter is sooo good..
I know you aren't supposed to eat anything with raw eggs in it but
I've done it all my life and I'm still here.... :)
...just a taste or two is not gonna hurt ya.
*
and, MERCY ME...with all this goodness thrown into the mix...
strawberries, apples, pecans....
I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that THIS BREAD
was gonna be goood.
It came out of the oven looking like a rock star..!!
I'm going to put it in the freezer, wrapped with press and seal and wrapped with this
cutie pie baker's twine...
which is only for the cuteness. :>)
Then slipped into a zip lock freezer bag.
Then, when I have a special occasion,
I can pull it out, make a strawberry sauce to go over it and top it with
sweet whipped cream.
STRAWBERRY FIELDS FOREVER
comes into my mind.
That's a great song written by JOHN LENNON.
His concert was, by far, the best concert I've ever been to...
and I've been to a LOT.
Mr. McCartney paid honor to ALL of the Beatles and it was so awesome.
He even played a bit of STRAWBERRY FIELDS FOREVER while
a video of the BEATLES played in the background...*gulp
One of our grandsons, DREW, went to see the memorial,
Strawberry Fields in NYC a few years ago...and I have a
photo of him there...SOMEWHERE.
OOO....just found it.
xoxo, bj
Looks good. For me though, I won't use the sprinkle stuff, but overall, this looks delish.
ReplyDeleteBJ, I could just hug you...you make me smile. You said you are still here after eating batter with raw egg. I never think of that with brownie batter licking. Who thinks past that chocolaty flavor? That bread was beautiful. I can see why you want to save it for a special day. I'll always love those Beatles tunes. Was that a lifetime ago...when we yelled and screamed for them. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
ReplyDeleteYou didn't even taste the baked bread?! Wow. More self-control than I thought after that admission of eating raw dough. = D It sure looks pretty and I hope that it lives up to its ratings. Now going back to catch up.
ReplyDeleteYou and Deeds just popped up in the pool! You look so cool and happy.
DeletePhew! My sanity is intact.
DeleteThat quick bread looks so very good. I have a few berries I need to use up and I know I have an apple or two in the crisper.......
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Oh my goodness, bj! Berries, apples, pecans..all my favorites! What a wonderful treat to have on hand.
ReplyDeleteYum....I love ALL quick breads....this looks very tasty!!

ReplyDeletebj ... how could have not taken a big slice of that beautiful bread right from the oven ??? I would have. You know cooks/bakers have to taste-test everything. Thanks for the recipe. That is my kind of dessert ... just plain.
ReplyDeleteAudrey Z.
