I made this last night. I needed another 10 minutes of cooking time. I then waited 10 minutes and tried to take one loaf out of the pan. It fell apart and was completely destroyed. The second loaf I covered up and let cool completely. This morning I took the loaf out and it was beautiful and tasty.<br/><br/>This is a keeper.

Very good recipe! I omitted the pecans, we have some young ones that have not had nuts as of yet and personally I don't care for them in baked goods. I added another 1/4 c berries, and just over a half cup of oatmeal to the chopped berries to try and fill the void left by the pecans absence...I also added a tsp of vanilla (love it!) All who tried it raved! Thanks for sharing!

I needed a recipe to use up some very ripe strawberries. I used 1 tsp. of cinnamon instead of 1 T. The bread is delicious. We topped it with strawberry butter made from another recipe. Thank you.
