Strawberry Pecan Bread

Servings: Makes 2 loaves
Comments:
Serve this delicious quick bread toasted with butter, and topped with strawberry preserves, or have a slice without anything on it. Try something a little different, and top with some Creme Fraiche, Double or Clotted Cream. Which ever way you serve it, your guests will definitely be very pleased with the result..........Diana
