An old-fashioned strawberry bread recipe made with mashed fresh strawberries, a touch of cinnamon and topped with a vanilla powdered sugar glaze.
What a great way to use up fresh strawberries that might have become a bit too ripe for other recipes! You mash the berries and incorporate them into the batter so you get bits of strawberry in every bite.
Because this bread uses sweeter ingredients you can also serve this as a dessert bread in place of heavier desserts for a summer dinner. It can be served for a snack, with coffee, as a dessert, or as part of a summer brunch menu.
The glaze is poured over the hot bread and soaks into the bread, keeping it moist and making it just slightly sweet. To me the glaze makes this bread special.
Although it tastes great on its own with a bit of butter, you also tastes fantastic with a smear of this cream cheese spread.

The one tb of milk is not enough for a glaze I added another half table spoon.
Hi Betty!
Thank you for your input. Yes, sometimes a few adjustments need to be made with glazes. I hope you liked the recipe.
