DETOUR -- Strawberry Banana Bread

Normally I make muffins but I decided to change things up a bit and make banana bread. Strawberries are very much in season right now and it would be a shame to waste the opportunity to use a tried and true recipe. In addition, I went to a local strawberry farm on Saturday and, apart from seeing a fact witness to one of our cases there, got some pretty ripe strawberries. So without further delay here is my recipe, of long lost origins, for Strawberry Banana Bread.

Ingredients
2 stick softened unsalted better
2 cups sugar
2 cups ripe bananas, mashed
4 eggs
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking soda
3 cups flour
1.5 pounds fresh or frozen strawberries, sliced



Directions
1. Grease two loaf pans and pre-heat oven to 325
2. Cream softened butter and sugar
3. Incorporate mashed bananas and scrape down bowl
4. Add eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly
5. In a separate bowl combine salt, baking soda and flour
6. Mix dry ingredients into wet ingredients
7. Gently fold in strawberries
8. Bake 60-75 minutes
