Laura, I wanted to tell you I made this with fresh cranberries into muffins and they were excellent!! I did soak the flour overnight in kefir (just enough to make it damp) and then used less oil in the AM. So, it was a different recipe entirely, but I still think of it as yours…:)

Melody Joy – We’ve eaten this straight out of the oven and it’s been delicious! I hadn’t heard that information about chilling it first to bring out the flavor. I have some in the freezer, so when I pull it out…we’ll see if it’s even BETTER!

Meghan – Rapadura/sucanat is dehydrated cane sugar juice. You can find it at health food stores, online or…I buy mine through my health food co-op.

Rookie question to a moma trying to learn to bake and cook. What is rapadura or sucanat and where do I buy it. Love, love your blog. You sound like one special mommy and wife.

I love your recipes because you use whole grains, “good” flour, honey, aguave nectar, and on and on. Thank you for sharing so many great ideas. I have been buying berries and grinding my own flour for close to 6 years now, using the good oils and honey, etc. and I love to find other women who share the same desire to provide healthy, wonderful foods the way God intended for their families. I just want to say what a wonderful encouragement you are. Keep up those wonderful recipes and encouraging other women. You make me think of the Proverbs 31 woman!
God Bless!

I was baking,too! It was my husbands birthday and he asked for Gobbs or Whoopie Pies! Oh, my, I have never made them before, and it was not 101 here in PA, but it was 85 and the oven was on for hours so it got pretty warm in here! But, I didn’t mind doing something special for my special man! He was suprised that I took the time on a very busy day and really enjoyed them!

Just a question… and it may sound like a strange one: Do you have to refrigerate the strawberry bread or is it sweet fresh out of the oven? I’ve baked with strawberries before (cookies), and the cookies tasted somewhat bitter, but when I refrigerated them the sweetness returned(?). Some recipes I’d found for strawberry baked goods called for post-baking refrigeration, so I thought maybe that was standard with strawberries…

I was canning a little yesterday too…what is it about hot weather and big cooking that goes together? Of course, it makes me feel bad since we had the air on and it was working to negate the heat I was generating. I did wait until the sun went down to turn on the stove, but it still got awfully hot! It reminds me of canning with my mom in August heat with no air. I’m so spoiled!

The bread looks great. I’ve only had strawberry bread once and it was so yummy!
