STRAWBERRY PULP BREAD

Things to do with Strawberries
- What to do with left over Strawberry Pulp

There was a sale on strawberries at the local grocery store so I decided to buy a few flats. Once I took them home, the trouble started. Well, not really trouble, just abit of a pain.

I knew I wanted to make Wine, Jam and freeze some berries. If I feel up to it, I might even dehydrate some for a great pick me up snack.

Anyways, I picked through the berries and filtered out the not yet ripe, the just right ripe and the almost overripe. I hulled the ripe and overripe, putting the overripe into a steam juice extractor and mixing the ripe with blackberry juice and blueberries (Makes a nice jam). On a side note, I also extracted the blackberry juice with my very helpful steam extractor, I would definitely recommend this unit for anyone who loves juice and making wine.

The great thing about the juice steamer is, at the end of making the best clearest and sweetest juice you can ever make, you have fruit pulp which can be used for making breads. Being a Kraut and not one to waste anything, this definitely appeals to me.

Not able to find a decent recipe for Strawberry Pulp bread, I went about to create my own by modifying a Banana Bread recipe. Here it is:
