Same Picture Different Recipe "Aunt Karen's Strawberry Bread w/Strawberry Butter

-
Same picture different recipe.

Still sticking with the strawberry and the family theme though even sticking with aunts and their recipes.

This one is Mark's sister Karen's, our children's Aunt Karen.

I call her Aunt Karen all the time because the kids do.

I loved this the first time she brought it to us and I still do, the Strawberry Butter that goes with it is just "icing on the cake" so to speak, or I guess in this case, "butter on the bread."

You've got to try it, you're gonna love it.

Bread:
3 cups flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 10 oz. pkgs. frozen strawberries, thawed and drained (save the juice)
2 cups sugar
1 tsp. salt
4 eggs, beaten

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour 2  9x5 or 5 mini pans. Combine dry ingredients in large bowl. Make a well in center. Stir in eggs, oil and strawberries, mix well. Pour into prepared loaf pans. Bake at 350 degrees for 50-60 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. (small pans, 20-25 minutes)

Butter:
1/2 cup butter (room temp)
1/2 cup of the berry juice you saved
1 cup powdered sugar
Beat until creamy and refrigerate

To serve slice the bread and spread some of the strawberry butter all over it. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!

I add different fruits to butter a lot times and it is great for adding a little something extra to toast, or waffles, pancakes, french toast, or just life in general.

Raisin Pie....AN OLD FASHIONED FAVORITE

-

Some of you requested the Raisin Pie recipe so here it is. I had never had a raisin pie until I married into the Gray family. Mark loved them and when I was given a bridal shower before we married, everyone was asked to bring a recipe. Marilyn Losson brought this one. I have to admit as a young wife I let it sit in the recipe box for a little while but once I took it out, it just kept coming back out. Mark's grandpa Gray loved a raisin pie and so we took this over to his house often and of course we took a half gallon vanilla ice cream along with us. When Lucas came in the other day and saw this on the counter he said the first thing he thought of was Grandpa Herman. The girls aren't crazy about this pie but Lucas likes it and he likes it with ice cream too, so I'm thinking it's a Gray man thing. Okay, so here we go, the recipe is..... 2 cups seedless raisins 2 cups water 1/2 cup brown sugar 2 Tbsp cornstarch 1 tsp. cinnamon 1/8 tsp. salt 1 Tbs
